I liked it because it taught me something, the most important thing that I think I needed to learn in my life, which I never took time to find out about- that it's okay to ask for help and it's okay to be an alcoholic, and it's okay to have this problem, as long as we try to do something about it.
What happens when a child's innocent words become the catalyst for a life-changing decision? Meet Ralph, a man who spent 43 years lost in the haze of alcohol. His journey, featured on Steppin' Out Radio, offers a raw look at the highs and lows of addiction and the power of family in sparking change. Ralph's story begins with a simple yet heartbreaking moment: his little grandson refusing to kiss him goodnight because he 'stank' of alcohol.
This innocent comment was Ralph's wake-up call, pushing him to confront his addiction head-on. He reflects on his early years, growing up watching his father drink and following in those footsteps. His life spiraled as he juggled Navy service, running a business, and raising a family—all while battling his addiction. The turning point came when Ralph decided to ask for help. He embraced the 12-step program, which became his lifeline.
Ralph shares how this program not only helped him achieve sobriety but also taught him the value of service and community. Through his journey, Ralph emphasizes the importance of reaching out and the incredible support he found in the AA community. His story is a testament to the transformative power of seeking help and the strength found in community. Tune in to Steppin' Out Radio to hear Ralph's inspiring journey from the depths of addiction to the heights of recovery.
