My advice to anyone struggling with alcohol or think they're struggling with alcohol, or if they've admitted they're an alcoholic and they're not sure what to do, talk to your partner, go and see your gp and get to an aa meeting.
Ever wondered what it's like to walk into an Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting for the first time? In this episode of 'Henry Weston's Old Mate', Stu and Phil open up about Stu's personal journey through AA and the transformative 12-step program. Stu shares the raw and real moments that led him to realize he had a drinking problem, and how AA became a lifeline in his path to sobriety.
They dive into the first six steps of the program, discussing the hurdles and the often daunting religious aspects that can make or break one's commitment to recovery. But don't worry, it's not all heavy; there's a sprinkle of humor and candid anecdotes that make this conversation both enlightening and relatable.
You'll hear about the significance of finding a sponsor, the small yet meaningful acts of service like making tea or setting up chairs, and the power of community in AA meetings. Stu also talks about the 'little red book', a handy guide that simplifies the big blue book's 12-step principles. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of making amends, seeking forgiveness, and the role of prayer in finding strength.
Whether you're struggling with addiction or know someone who is, this episode offers a beacon of hope and practical advice. Tune in for an honest discussion that might just inspire you or someone you care about to take that first step towards recovery.
