Not drinking is the easiest thing I do on a daily basis because the steps worked that well.
What if tacos led you to a life-changing journey? That's exactly what happened to Rick. For two years, Rick wasn't convinced he was an alcoholic. He felt like an outsider, always apart from the crowd. But then, in a twist of fate involving tacos, he found himself attending his first three AA meetings. Rick's story is anything but ordinary—there's even a rat poison incident!
After two years of sobriety, the urge to drink returned during a meeting, pushing him to work the steps with urgency. His home group, Young People in Greensboro, NC, has been a cornerstone of his recovery since his sobriety date on December 23, 1995. Join Don and Sam as they dive into Rick's unique journey, exploring the highs and lows of his path to sobriety.
You'll hear about the transformative power of surrender and the steps that helped Rick turn his life around. Whether you're new to AA or a seasoned member, Rick's story offers valuable insights and a fresh perspective on the road to recovery.
