It really is the secret to enjoying my sobriety.
Imagine having your sobriety date double as your divorce date. That's the reality Alex faced, and in this episode of the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast, he opens up about his journey. Alex talks about losing the security of his marriage and job, and how he turned to AA, already familiar with it due to previous DUIs. His first step? Downloading and printing his first copy of the Big Book.
What follows is a candid discussion about emotional sobriety, choosing the right sponsor, and the importance of working through the steps. Alex also shares how he completed his degree while staying sober and even decided to pursue further education. His home group, Young People in Greensboro, NC, played a pivotal role in his recovery. With a sobriety date of January 21, 2016, Alex’s story is a compelling testament to how connections and making amends can transform one's life.
Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on the journey for years, Alex's experiences offer valuable insights into maintaining emotional balance and applying AA principles in everyday life.
