This program is being able to find that path. It just is what it is, and my god doesn't have to be your god or Bill Wilson's or any.
Imagine starting your drinking journey in 7th grade and chasing that high until you're 25. That's Josh's story, and in this episode of the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast, he opens up about his battle with alcohol and the turning points that led him to recovery. Hosts Don and Sam create a warm, coffee-shop atmosphere where Josh feels comfortable sharing his struggles and triumphs.
He recalls how the voice in his head kept telling him, 'You know you're an alcoholic,' and later, 'You're going to die. Are you ready to die?' These haunting thoughts pushed him to seek help from a treatment center, where he first heard the life-changing words, 'We can help you'. Josh's journey wasn't smooth; he initially resisted sponsorship and the spiritual aspects of Steps 2 and 3.
But with time, he embraced honesty, humility, and the support of his home group in Greensboro, NC. Josh also highlights the role of conferences and reunions in celebrating sobriety milestones, offering listeners a glimpse into the vibrant community that supports his ongoing recovery. If you're looking for a story that blends raw honesty with hope, this episode is a must-listen.
