Acceptance is not me challenging that something is it's acknowledging that it is the thing that comes into play and something I've been working on late.
Ever wondered how someone starts drinking as early as grade school and still finds their way to sobriety? In this episode of the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast, hosts Don and Sam sit down with Seth, who began his drinking journey in the third or fourth grade. Forced into treatment at just 16, Seth's initial understanding of AA was as murky as a scene from 'Fight Club'.
He couldn't grasp the concept of sobriety until he hit rock bottom, unable to stop drinking even for a month before he decided to get sober. Seth opens up about his struggles with accepting AA initially and how finding the right sponsor made all the difference. He delves into his experiences with the powerful fifth step and the critical distinction between acceptance and approval.
Seth's candid storytelling challenges common misconceptions about AA and sheds light on the importance of service work in his recovery journey. Listeners will be moved by Seth's honesty and resilience as he navigates the ups and downs of sobriety. His story is a testament to the power of community, support, and the relentless pursuit of a better life.
Whether you're just starting your sobriety journey or need a reminder of why you chose this path, Seth's story offers hope and inspiration. Tune in to hear how one man's battle with addiction transformed into a tale of triumph and acceptance.
