In this episode of AA Recovery Interviews, Larry L. shares his compelling journey to sobriety, offering a heartfelt and raw account of his life before and after Alcoholics Anonymous. Larry, who began his sobriety journey at the age of 65, opens up about the decades he spent as a loner, working long hours and drinking until closing time at the bar.
His story is one of perseverance and transformation, making it clear that it's never too late to seek help and change one's life. Larry's struggles with alcoholism led to job losses and a dwindling social life, but a pivotal moment came when a therapist helped him realise that alcohol was at the root of his problems.
This realisation led him to AA, where he found support and a sense of community that had been missing from his life for so long. Larry's involvement in AA has been profound, particularly his work with correctional facilities committees, bringing AA meetings to jails and prisons. His dedication to service work highlights the power of giving back and the importance of community in the recovery process. At 75, Larry's commitment to sobriety and helping others is truly inspiring.
His story is a testament to the fact that recovery is possible at any age, and his experiences offer hope to those who may feel it's too late for them. Tune in to hear Larry's powerful story and gain insights into the challenges and triumphs of living a sober life.
