The miracle is not that we don't drink, even though that is a miracle. To me, the miracle is the fact that I don't have the thought of taking a drink.
Steve R. didn't start his journey to sobriety until he was 58, after 35 years of weekend and holiday binges. In this heartfelt episode of AA Recovery Interviews, host Howard L. sits down with Steve to uncover the twists and turns of his late-in-life recovery. Despite holding his marriage together for 14 years and achieving career success, Steve's increasing alcohol use led to a divorce and strained relationships with his children.
Initially skeptical about AA, Steve hoped that attending meetings would allow him to continue drinking without consequences. However, the more he attended, the more he realized the true value of the program. Through the guidance of a dedicated sponsor, working the Steps, and committing to daily prayer and meditation, Steve found a solution to his long-standing problem. His story is a testament to the power of community and the transformative impact of AA.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and understanding on the path to sobriety.
