Jimmy D's Path to Sobriety: The Power of the First Drink

I still don't know, that it's that first drink and for a guy like me taking that first drink, that I have absolutely no control over where I'm gonna go or what I'm gonna do, and that I'm not gonna stop until I get stopped.
What happens when the first drink takes control? In this episode of 'Sober Speak', Jimmy D dives into his battle with addiction, beginning with that pivotal first sip. He opens up about how that initial drink often spiraled into a loss of control, requiring intervention to break the cycle. Jimmy's candid storytelling sheds light on his experiences with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), the transformative power of prayer and meditation, and the crucial role of finding a sponsor.
He also touches on confronting past traumas and the relentless struggle with addiction triggers. Jimmy's journey is a testament to the importance of honesty and taking responsibility in recovery. By sharing his story, he aims to inspire others facing similar battles, offering hope and practical advice for those on the path to sobriety.
