I made really good friends, you know, and I have no problem, telling people that when they want to know why I don't drink, it usually is how I feel at the moment.
What does it take to stay sober for 33 years and travel the world while doing it? Greg K's story on 'myRecoveryCast' offers a fascinating glimpse into this journey. Hosts Ron H. and Dave F. sit down with Greg, who is seven months into a year-long global adventure, attending Narcotics Anonymous meetings and conventions. This episode is a treasure trove of insights on recovery, travel, and spirituality that you won't want to miss.
Greg's journey to sobriety began at the tender age of 17. With Alcoholics Anonymous as his first introduction to recovery, he soon found his way to Narcotics Anonymous meetings. Over the years, Greg has been deeply involved in service positions and has built a strong network of friends and fellow travelers on the road to recovery. One of the highlights of this episode is Greg's reflections on how the message of recovery has evolved over time.
He recalls how earlier conventions focused on purity and separation but notes a shift towards unity and inclusivity in recent years. This change, he believes, has made the recovery community stronger and more welcoming. The conversation also dives into the spiritual side of recovery. Greg shares his thoughts on questioning beliefs and how he perceives the universe as a greater power. He emphasizes the importance of speaking about spirituality in metaphors, allowing for a more personal and less dogmatic approach.
Social connections play a crucial role in Greg's recovery journey. He talks about the friendships he's formed while traveling and attending various meetings and conventions. These connections have been a cornerstone of his sobriety, providing support and companionship along the way. Making amends is another significant topic discussed in this episode. Greg explains how this practice has been vital in his recovery, helping him to heal relationships and move forward with a clear conscience.
The episode wraps up with a discussion on the power of hope. For Greg, hope is the driving force that keeps him going, even in challenging times. He openly shares that he has no qualms about telling people he doesn't drink because it aligns with how he feels at the moment. If you're looking for inspiration, practical advice, or just a heartfelt story of resilience, this episode with Greg K is a must-listen.
