Today I don't have any of those things, because if I had gotten what I thought I wanted, I would have sold myself short.
Joseph S takes the stage at the Tri-City Speaker Meeting to share his raw and riveting story of transformation. This episode of Sober Speak dives deep into Joseph's tumultuous journey through alcoholism, marked by multiple failed rehab attempts, broken relationships, job losses, and even homelessness. His narrative isn't just about hitting rock bottom; it's about the incredible rise that followed.
Joseph recounts how accepting a service position in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) became the cornerstone of his recovery, offering him a sense of purpose and belonging he had never felt before. He discusses the profound impact of spiritual experiences that now bring him ease and comfort, replacing the void once filled by alcohol. Through candid reflections, Joseph emphasizes the importance of sponsorship, home group commitment, and the community's role in his journey.
He doesn't shy away from discussing the tough parts—making amends and rebuilding fractured relationships. Joseph's story is a testament to the transformative power of AA and serves as a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction. Tune in to hear how he found employment and a renewed sense of self where his sobriety truly began.
