We all come into aa because it's the last stop.
Imagine jumping out of a moving car in a blackout. That's how Steve's journey to sobriety began. In this gripping episode of the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast, Steve opens up about his tumultuous past and the pivotal moments that led him to Alcoholics Anonymous. Starting his drinking and drug use at just 11 years old, Steve's life was a whirlwind of chaos until a desperate act landed him in AA on crutches.
His first sponsor was assigned to him, and from that point on, he was all in. Steve’s story is not just about hitting rock bottom; it’s about the climb back up. After his first AA meeting, he began helping newcomers within two weeks, showing an incredible commitment to his recovery and to others. One of the most touching parts of his story involves a simple train ride from work, which turned into a beautiful 12th-Step experience.
Throughout the episode, Steve emphasizes the importance of having a home group and the role spirituality has played in his journey. He shares practical tips for incorporating daily prayer and meditation into your life, highlighting how these practices have been crucial for his sobriety. Steve's home group, Serendipity in High Point, NC, has been a cornerstone of his recovery since his sobriety date on April 1, 1989.
If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, Steve's story offers a beacon of hope and a testament to the transformative power of community and perseverance.
