If I go out and drink, not only will I have ruined my sobriety, but I will have thrown away something that I've worked so hard to have right.
Ever wondered how someone can seem to have it all together while battling a hidden addiction? Meet Larry E., whose story unfolds in this episode of AA Recovery Interviews with Howard L. Larry was the quintessential 'functional alcoholic', achieving professional success and financial stability even as his addiction quietly grew. His journey is a gripping tale of denial, downfall, and ultimate redemption.
Larry's life took a sharp turn when his addiction to freebase cocaine brought him to his knees, culminating in a dramatic wake-up call during a high-stakes executive meeting. Forced to confront his demons, Larry entered treatment in 1995 and began his path to recovery. But his journey wasn't without setbacks; a slip following his mother's death in 2007 tested his resolve. Yet, Larry bounced back and has been sober ever since, now approaching his 14th AA birthday.
Throughout the episode, Larry opens up about the duality of his life as a high-functioning alcoholic and the pivotal role Alcoholics Anonymous played in his recovery. He shares candid insights on the importance of staying sober, the power of faith, and the profound benefits of a sober life. Larry's story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about reclaiming one's life and finding hope amidst despair.
Tune in to hear how Larry transformed his struggles into strengths and why he believes that sobriety is worth fighting for.
