In this episode of Recovery Radio Network, Keith L. shares his heartfelt journey through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Keith's story is a mix of gratitude, humour, and raw honesty, making it both relatable and inspiring for anyone on the path to recovery. He begins by expressing his appreciation for the warm welcome he received at the conference and acknowledges the support of old friends and his wife, Julia.
Keith reflects on his early days in AA, mentioning his three 'mean' sponsors who held him to high standards and helped him stay sober since 1973. He humorously warns newcomers about the old-timers in AA, sharing anecdotes that highlight their tough love approach. Keith's tale is not just about his struggles with alcohol but also about overcoming deep-seated fears and spiritual illness that plagued him long before he took his first drink.
He recounts his childhood fears, a speech impediment, and feeling out of place, which all contributed to his alcoholism. Through AA, Keith found a way to confront these issues and embrace being wrong as a gift. He shares a touching story about writing 'Keith, you are wrong' on his mirror, which became a turning point in his recovery. Keith's journey is a testament to the power of AA in transforming lives.
He emphasises the importance of helping others in the program and how it has brought him immense joy and purpose. His message is clear: if you work the program, amazing things can happen. Keith's story is filled with hope, encouragement, and a reminder that recovery is possible for anyone willing to put in the effort. This episode is a must-listen for those seeking inspiration and practical advice on their recovery journey.
