In this episode of the Recovery Radio Network, you'll be transported back to the 1990 International Convention of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) in Seattle, Washington. The 'Long Timers Panel' features a diverse group of speakers who share their decades-long journeys in sobriety, offering a rich tapestry of experiences, wisdom, and humour.
These seasoned AA members recount their personal stories, from the struggles of early recovery to the joys of long-term sobriety, all while emphasising the importance of community and support in their journeys. The panelists reflect on how AA's principles have shaped their lives, providing them with the tools to stay sober and help others do the same.
With anecdotes ranging from heartfelt to humorous, this episode is a treasure trove of inspiration for anyone touched by alcoholism—whether directly or through a loved one. You'll hear about the transformative power of AA meetings, the significance of anonymity, and the unwavering support that comes from being part of this fellowship.
One standout moment is when a panelist recalls a doctor asking if they'd take a pill to continue drinking without consequences—a question that led to deep self-reflection and commitment to sobriety. This episode is not just about staying sober; it's about building a life filled with purpose, connection, and hope. Tune in to hear how these 'long timers' have navigated their paths and discover the enduring strength of the AA community.
Whether you're new to recovery or a long-time member, there's something here for everyone.
