I had to apply the steps of Alcoholics Anonymous to my life, just like I do with anything, and it kind of just happens without my permission, kind of like the 10th step promises coming in.
What happens when you hit rock bottom behind bars? For Kip, the journey to sobriety began in the unlikeliest of places: prison. In this episode of the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast, hosts Don and Sam sit down with Kip to explore his remarkable story. Kip first encountered Alcoholics Anonymous while incarcerated in 1989. Despite multiple stints in and out of prison, he felt powerless over his drinking, convinced that if God and church couldn't help him, AA certainly wouldn't.
But life had other plans. Kip’s story is one of resilience and transformation. He talks candidly about losing all power of choice when it came to alcohol and how AA helped him reclaim his life. He opens up about the challenges of maintaining sobriety through marriage, divorce, and dating again in recovery. His sobriety date, 08JUL2010, marks a new chapter that started with his home group, the New South Group in High Point, NC.
Kip shares his unique approach to the AA steps and his views on religion, offering valuable insights into making amends and letting go of what doesn’t serve us. Don’t miss this inspiring conversation that delves into the complexities of recovery and the importance of community support. Whether you're new to sobriety or a seasoned member of AA, Kip's story will resonate deeply.
