No, no, I wish you had been the-minute speaker, because I think you were. You were like- I don't know just like- so close to telling my story.
Ever wondered what it's like to be at different stages of sobriety? This episode of Sober Cast brings you two compelling stories from Timothy and Gabriel, who share their unique experiences at an AA speaker meeting in Oakland, California. Timothy, sober for just over four months, opens the session with a raw and honest account of his early days in recovery. As a queer person of color, he highlights the importance of representation and finding community in AA.
His story is one of initial confusion and eventual clarity, as he navigates the challenging waters of early sobriety. Following Timothy, Gabriel takes the stage with 25 years of sobriety under his belt. His narrative shifts from the immediate struggles of early recovery to the long-term challenges and rewards of staying sober. Gabriel emphasizes the importance of diving into the AA literature and the steps, sharing how these tools have been crucial in maintaining his sobriety.
He also touches on the impact of alcoholism on relationships and the spiritual awakening that has come with his journey. Both speakers underline the value of service and helping others as a cornerstone of their recovery. They discuss how AA meetings and workshops have provided them with a supportive community, where learning from others is a continuous process. The episode beautifully captures the essence of AA's promises, showing how life can be managed without turning to alcohol.
