Alcohol provided everything. It was the source of everything in my mind, and to discover that it could quit and it can be fun. I did the steps, I felt confident to help others, and then I started helping others, and that's where the transformation helped our greatest liabilities become our greatest assets.
Imagine hitting rock bottom and finding the strength to climb back up. That's exactly what Bay, a long-time art director for the Grapevine magazine, shares in this heartfelt episode of AA Grapevine's Podcast. Don and Sam sit down with Bay as he opens up about his struggle with alcoholism and the miraculous changes he experienced after taking on a sponsor and working through AA's 12 Steps.
His candid recounting of the three types of memory loss he faced—short-term, long-term, and convenient—adds a raw layer to his story, making it all the more relatable for anyone who has faced similar battles. Bay's journey isn't just about overcoming addiction; it's about transforming his greatest weaknesses into his greatest strengths. He highlights the importance of staying connected with local AA groups and how recording these podcasts has been a crucial part of his own recovery.
The hosts also touch on the evolving language in AA's 12 Steps and the vital role of action in maintaining a connection to a higher power. If you're looking for a story of hope, resilience, and transformation, this episode is a must-listen. Whether you're struggling with alcoholism yourself or supporting someone who is, Bay's experience offers invaluable insights and inspiration.
