I never made any sober Indian friends. It's not like all Indians drink. But I was like, yeah, you're not good enough for me because you don't drink.
Imagine moving halfway across the world, only to find yourself spiraling deeper into the same old habits. That's exactly what happened to Sachin B. when he left India for the U.S. at 21. He was ready for a new life but ended up carrying his heavy baggage of shame, guilt, and low self-esteem right along with him. The wild partying and constant drinking, which began in India, followed him to America, becoming the blueprint for his life—and his downfall.
For 15 years, Sachin juggled a seemingly successful career and personal life with a daily drinking habit that masked his inner turmoil. Surrounded by friends who drank just as much, he felt something was always missing. A rare moment of clarity revealed what it was: spirituality. This realization led him to Alcoholics Anonymous in 2020, marking the start of his journey toward a spiritual awakening.
In this episode of AA Recovery Interviews, Sachin opens up about how embracing the AA program transformed his life. He shares the highs and lows of sobriety, the importance of fellowship, and the struggle of finding new friends who support his sober lifestyle. If you're curious about how someone can turn their life around by finding a deeper meaning and community, Sachin's story is one you won't want to miss.
