Rory M. brings a blend of humour, raw honesty, and heartfelt wisdom in this episode of Mad Dog Recovery AA Speakers. Sharing his journey from Austin to Arlington, Rory dives into the first three steps of the twelve-step programme with a mix of personal stories and practical advice. He opens up about his sobriety since June 5, 2010, and the pivotal role his sponsor, Bob Darrell, plays in his life.
Rory's anecdotes are both humorous and sobering, reflecting on his past struggles with alcohol and the transformative power of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). He discusses the first step's realisation that once he starts drinking, he cannot stop, a revelation that hit home after numerous failed attempts to control his drinking. Rory's vivid descriptions of his experiences, like waking up in Pennsylvania after a blackout, paint a picture of the chaos that addiction brought into his life.
The second step's focus on finding a higher power and the third step's commitment to turning one's life over to that power are illustrated through Rory's personal growth and spiritual journey. His story is a testament to the power of AA meetings and the support of fellow members, who provided rides, cigarettes, and cheeseburgers when he needed them most.
Rory emphasises the importance of helping other alcoholics as a central part of his recovery, describing it as the key to maintaining his sobriety and finding true happiness. With candid reflections and practical advice, this episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and guidance on their own path to recovery.
