In this episode of Mad Dog Recovery AA Speakers, Larry T. shares his journey from scepticism to faith while discussing Step 11. Larry, whose sobriety date is May 2nd, 1982, recounts his initial resistance to the concept of God and how it shaped his early life and struggles with alcoholism. His story begins with a poignant childhood memory that turned him away from any notion of a higher power.
He describes his early days in AA, including a memorable encounter with a Scottish man who introduced him to the fellowship in 1975. Larry's anecdotes are filled with humour and raw honesty, painting a vivid picture of his path to sobriety and spiritual awakening. He emphasises the importance of community and service in AA, crediting the faces and support of fellow members for his continued recovery.
Larry's reflections on the transformative power of AA literature and the significance of finding a higher power through the fellowship offer valuable insights for anyone on their own recovery journey. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that faith can be found in the most unexpected places and that the support of a community can make all the difference.
