In this heartfelt episode of 'Mad Dog Recovery AA Speakers', Foster Cornelius shares his gripping journey from the depths of addiction to a life of sobriety and service. Foster, who has been sober since March 15, 2008, opens up about his struggles with alcohol and other substances, the impact of his actions on others, and the transformative power of AA meetings.
His story begins with a tragic accident that led him to jail and a subsequent court order to attend AA meetings. Initially sceptical, Foster soon found solace and support within the AA community, which played a crucial role in his recovery. Foster's narrative is filled with moments of raw honesty and vulnerability. He recounts how his best friend Leroy, despite being illiterate, stood by him and attended meetings together.
Leroy's determination to get sober and help others is a testament to the power of mutual support in recovery. Foster also shares how he found a sponsor who guided him through the AA steps, leading to a profound change in his desire to drink. One of the most touching parts of Foster's story is his experience with cancer and how he continued to find strength and purpose through his faith and the AA programme.
His journey is not just about personal recovery but also about giving back. Foster talks about how he has helped many others navigate their own paths to sobriety, including his friend Leroy, who went on to start AA meetings in a town with no prior support. This episode is a powerful reminder of the importance of community, faith, and perseverance in overcoming addiction.
Foster's story is both inspiring and motivating, showing that recovery is possible with the right support and mindset. If you're looking for a story of hope and resilience, this episode is a must-listen.
