My sobriety date is April and so I have some time... I really like serenity.
Imagine growing up in a whirlwind of chaos, only to find peace and calm later in life. That’s the story of Sherman, the guest on this episode of Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast. Hosted by Don and Sam, this episode dives into Sherman’s journey from a turbulent childhood in an alcoholic home to finding serenity through sobriety.
Sherman opens up about how the chaotic environment of his youth led him to alcohol, and how he eventually saw the chaos for what it truly was—wreckage. His turning point came when he started attending AA meetings with his dad as a kid, where the speakers' stories struck a chord with him. Fast forward to adulthood, and Sherman has been sober since April 1994. His home group is the Agnostics, Atheists, Freethinkers AA Group in Asheville, NC.
He shares how contracting COVID-19 made him realize the value of life even more. Throughout the conversation, Sherman emphasizes acceptance and non-judgment, highlighting the transformative power of working the AA program. His story is both inspirational and a testament to the life-changing impact of sobriety. Don and Sam guide listeners through this heartfelt discussion, making it a must-listen for anyone on their own recovery journey or supporting someone who is.
Tune in for an episode filled with wisdom, resilience, and a touch of humor.
