God does for me what I can't do for myself.
Stevon's journey through addiction and recovery is a compelling tale of resilience and transformation. Growing up, Stevon followed in his father's footsteps, which unfortunately led him down a path of heavy drinking and legal troubles. Despite multiple attempts to control his drinking, it was alcohol that always had the upper hand. His father's ominous warning of 'jail, hospital, death' became a haunting reality for him, pushing Stevon to seek help from Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).
Joining AA marked the beginning of a new chapter in Stevon's life. With the unwavering support of the AA community, he learned to manage his cravings and tackle life's challenges without turning to alcohol. He found solace and purpose in his new home group in Kingston, where he eventually took on the role of secretary. However, his journey wasn't without setbacks. A relapse reminded him of the gravity of his actions and the disappointment of his peers.
Stevon's story is a powerful reminder of the importance of community and perseverance. It underscores that recovery is not a straight path but a journey filled with ups and downs. His experience serves as a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction, illustrating that with support and determination, it is possible to turn one's life around. Tune into this episode of Sober Talk SA to hear Stevon's heartfelt narrative and find inspiration in his story.
