I saw the hope and I saw that it worked for other people and I was a lot smarter than the ones that I saw getting it.
Imagine being caught in a cycle of addiction for six long years. That's Buddy's story, a tale of persistence and eventual triumph shared on the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast. Hosted by Don and Sam, this episode dives deep into Buddy's journey, beginning with his late start in drinking due to religious beliefs and leading to a major health scare that made him quit—temporarily.
His candid recounting of getting a DUI and finding solace in Alcoholics Anonymous is both raw and relatable. Buddy found himself identifying with others in AA, realizing he wasn't alone in his struggles. A particularly touching moment in his recovery was making amends to his first wife, a step that brought him immense peace. Since getting sober on November 10, 2008, Buddy has been a part of the Sunday Morning Sharing & Caring group in Cartersville, GA.
His story is filled with ups and downs, but it's his unwavering commitment to recovery that stands out. Don and Sam create a warm, supportive space for Buddy to share his insights, making this episode a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction. Whether you're just starting your sobriety journey or looking for inspiration to keep going, Buddy's story offers valuable lessons and encouragement.
