But I'm okay with me Today, and that's the greatest treasure that alcoholics anonymous has ever given me.
James' story is one of transformation and hope, a journey that began in chaos and found its way to clarity through the 12-step program. Growing up, James never felt settled. His family moved frequently due to his father's job, leaving him feeling like an outsider wherever he went. To cope with these feelings of alienation, James turned to alcohol and drugs, which eventually spiraled into a full-blown addiction.
Despite numerous attempts to control his drinking and drug use, nothing seemed to work—until he embraced the 12-step program of Alcoholics Anonymous fully. In this heartfelt episode of 'Armed With Tracks', James shares how admitting he had never truly worked the program was a turning point. He opens up about the importance of sponsorship and the often-overlooked steps six and seven, which played a crucial role in his recovery.
Making amends and owning up to his past mistakes were pivotal moments that helped James find a sense of belonging and acceptance he had never known before. Today, James is happily married and dedicated to guiding others through their own recovery journeys. His story serves as a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with alcoholism, proving that change is possible with honesty, hard work, and the right support system.
