I never had a hop, a freight train to get from here to there.
Ever wondered what it takes to stay sober for over three decades? Meet Jim W., who’s been navigating the ups and downs of recovery for 32 years. As a toddler, Jim was introduced to drugs and alcohol, setting the stage for a tumultuous youth filled with substance abuse. By his teenage years, he was a daily pot smoker and drinker, even dealing drugs to support his own habits.
His life spiraled further out of control in college, culminating in a DUI and jail time. But at 21, Jim decided enough was enough. Through the support of Alcoholics Anonymous and a strong commitment to the program, he turned his life around. In this episode of 'AA Recovery Interviews', Jim shares his incredible journey from addiction to long-term sobriety. He opens up about the challenges he faced, from physical cravings to the mental obsession with substances.
Jim also highlights the pivotal role spirituality played in his recovery. By working the steps and helping others in their own journeys, he found purpose and meaning in life. This episode isn’t just a story of struggle; it’s a testament to the transformative power of community and perseverance. Whether you’re newly sober, thinking about quitting, or supporting someone who is, Jim’s story offers hope and practical insights.
