I remember saying: you can't say what you're thinking around these aa people because they correct everything.
What happens when a young man spirals into alcoholism and finds his way out through the support of AA? That's the heart of the 100th episode of the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast, where hosts Don and Sam chat with Michael, a recovering alcoholic. Michael's story begins with a wake-up call at just 21, when he was told he was an alcoholic after a fire incident at university.
His journey took many twists and turns, including using cocaine to drink more and isolating himself due to overwhelming guilt and shame about disappointing his parents. But Michael's life took a turn for the better when he embraced sobriety on October 29, 2009. His involvement with AA, particularly with the Early Bird / AA Zoomaholics group in Greensboro, NC, became a cornerstone of his recovery.
In this episode, Michael opens up about the importance of community and how sharing his struggles helped him heal. He discusses the role of spirituality in his recovery and the ongoing challenges of staying sober. Don and Sam also weigh in with their own reflections, making this episode a compelling listen for anyone navigating the path to sobriety. Tune in to hear Michael's inspiring story and gain insights into the power of vulnerability, community support, and making amends.
