I knew I had a problem. I knew I was an alcoholic, but until I admitted it, it didn't count as step one, and that was the first person. The owner of my company was the first person. I actually spoke out loud and told him I needed help, that I was an alcoholic and man the weight of the world come off of me at that point.
Facing the reality of addiction is never easy, and Joe Singer's journey through step one of the Alcoholics Anonymous 12-Step Program proves just that. In this heartfelt episode of 'Cuttin Grass', Joe opens up about the moment he admitted his powerlessness over alcohol and how his life had spiraled out of control. Hitting rock bottom was a turning point, but it was also a moment of profound clarity.
He recalls the immense relief that came with finally voicing his struggle to someone who understood - in this case, his boss, who had personal experience with alcoholism in his family. Joe highlights the critical role of a sponsor in recovery, sharing how having someone to guide him made all the difference. He delves into the distinction between merely surviving and truly living in sobriety, stressing the importance of returning to basic step work when things get tough.
Joe's story is one of hope and encouragement, urging those grappling with addiction to reach out, share their stories, and keep moving forward. Tune in to hear Joe's candid reflections and find inspiration for your own recovery journey.
