Daniel's Journey: 17 Years with Alcoholics Anonymous
I don't think I had an alcohol problem, but alcohol did cause me problems... aa has helped me to become happy.
What happens when a simple conversation changes the course of your life? Daniel from Lancashire shares his incredible 17-year journey with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) on this episode of 'Sobriety Unplugged'. Daniel's story begins abroad, where a chance encounter with a tourist led him to his first AA meeting. Unsure of what to expect, he was met with a warm welcome and discussions that shifted his perspective on life and sobriety.
Fast forward to today, and Daniel is not just a participant but an active contributor to the AA community. He recently spoke to the hosts the night before flying to Italy for an AA conference for young people, showcasing his dedication to giving back. Daniel emphasizes how contributing to the community benefits him just as much as those he helps.
He talks openly about how AA has improved his mental health, helping him manage anger and fear, and underscores the role of sobriety in addressing depression. Online AA meetings have made it easier for people to connect and seek help, and Daniel encourages anyone struggling with alcohol to reach out. This episode offers a heartfelt look at the power of community and the transformative impact of sobriety.
