I realized I was as destroyed by alcohol as I was by cocaine. With all of this, this cross section, this socioeconomic and intellectual cross section of people, this hotshot phd expert on the brain, who should be able to handle all this without aa?
Imagine having a Ph.D. in neurobiology and a skyrocketing career in medical research, yet finding yourself entangled in the web of alcoholism and drug addiction. That’s the story of Scott B., whose journey is featured in this episode of 'AA Recovery Interviews'. Host Howard L. dives into Scott's life, revealing how his intelligence and determination were no match for the grip of addiction. Despite his academic brilliance and professional success, Scott's life began to unravel as substance abuse took hold.
His ego and iron-will couldn't prevent the downward spiral that threatened everything he had worked for. But it was a well-timed intervention by friends and colleagues that threw him a lifeline just when he needed it most. Clinging to this lifeline, Scott entered treatment and discovered the transformative power of Alcoholics Anonymous. Now, with nearly 33 years of sobriety under his belt, Scott reflects on that crucial turning point that saved his life and career.
He shares valuable insights on the importance of humility, service, and surrender in recovery. His story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding a new purpose through helping others. Scott also touches on the famous AA story of 'getting all the way in the wheelbarrow', offering advice for newcomers and emphasizing the importance of community support. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and practical advice on balancing work and recovery.
