I always related alcohol to good things happening in my life.
In this heartfelt episode of Sober Talk SA, Harri opens up about his journey to sobriety, sharing the highs and lows that have shaped his path. Harri starts by recounting his early experiences with alcohol, which he initially associated with positive social interactions and confidence. However, as time went on, the reliance on alcohol began to take a toll on his life and relationships.
Harri's story is one of struggle and perseverance, detailing how he attempted to quit multiple times but found himself unable to stay sober. His turning point came when he reached out to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and attended his first meeting, where he was welcomed with open arms and began to see a glimmer of hope. Harri's journey through AA was not without its challenges.
He talks about the difficulty of accepting help and the resistance he felt towards working the steps. Yet, it was the 'gift of desperation' that finally pushed him to fully commit to the program. With the support of his sponsor and the AA community, Harri worked through the steps, finding relief in sharing his secrets and making amends. Today, Harri celebrates over two decades of sobriety.
He attributes his success to the principles of AA and the support system it provides. Harri now gives back by sponsoring others, helping them navigate their own journeys to sobriety. His story is a testament to the power of community and the importance of being honest with oneself. This episode is a raw and inspiring account that highlights the transformative impact of AA.
Harri's candidness and humour make for an engaging listen, offering hope and encouragement to anyone struggling with alcohol addiction. Tune in to hear Harri's full story and discover the strength that comes from vulnerability and community support.
