The greatest gift that we're given is that we found a way to get rid of that garbage, and rigorous honesty is rigorous to me.
Picture this: a world-renowned musician whose songs have touched hearts across generations, yet behind the scenes, his life was unraveling due to alcoholism. That's Paul W.'s story. In this episode of 'AA Recovery Interviews', host Howard L. sits down with Paul to delve into his 32-year journey of sobriety. Despite his glittering career in the music industry, Paul's early years were marred by family upheavals and physical challenges.
By his twenties, alcohol and drugs had become his escape, even as his career soared. However, by 1989, Paul hit rock bottom. His denial and the enabling of those around him only worsened his situation. A series of 'God-moments' led him to Alcoholics Anonymous, where he embraced the program wholeheartedly. Today, Paul shares his experience of what it was like, what happened, and what it's like now.
He opens up about the struggles he faced, the pivotal moments that changed his path, and the profound impact sobriety has had on his creativity and life. This episode is a raw and inspiring look at the power of AA and the importance of honesty in recovery. Whether you're on your own journey to sobriety or supporting someone who is, Paul’s story offers hope and insight.
