Pete B's Path from Addiction to Sobriety with Narcotics Anonymous

I made a solemn oath with my higher power in that third step that I would do this for god and others, just like the third step, prayer says, and you know, and all I knew was after that conversation I felt light and that heaviness has never returned.
Ever wondered how someone turns their life around after years of addiction? Pete B's story might just give you the answers. In this heartfelt episode of the 'Sober Friends' podcast, Pete opens up about his rollercoaster journey from drug addiction to finding a new life through Narcotics Anonymous (NA). With the unwavering support of his friend George, who later became his sponsor, Pete found a way to stay sober for an incredible 40 years.
George's guidance was pivotal, showing Pete that the right sponsor can make all the difference in recovery. But Pete's journey didn't stop there. He got deeply involved in NA's service work, even contributing to the creation of its first literature. Imagine spending weekends in jail camps, reading Bill W's story, and feeling a profound connection to those words. That's what Pete experienced, turning his greatest shame into his greatest strength through the 12 steps.
This episode also touches on the emotional highs and lows of recovery. Pete shares how connecting with a higher power and committing to helping others brought him a sense of peace and purpose he had never known before. His story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible with the right support and dedication. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Pete's journey offers hope and inspiration.
