Imagine growing up with an absent alcoholic father and the chaos that follows. For Ryan D., this was his reality. His father's sudden death during Ryan's middle school years left a deep scar, compounded by a lack of support from the church he turned to for solace. This episode of 'AA Recovery Interviews' hosted by Howard L. dives into Ryan's turbulent journey, from a childhood marred by trauma to decades of substance abuse.
Ryan's life spiraled into chaos with alcohol and drugs, affecting his relationships and career. The turning point came when his wife began attending Al-Anon, signaling the potential end of their marriage if he didn't change. Ryan chose to embrace the Alcoholics Anonymous program, leading to a profound spiritual awakening and two years of sustained sobriety. This episode offers a raw and relatable story of redemption, making it a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is.
