For me, it has really worked to both participate in zoom... plus having a sponsor making those telephone calls, being in touch. These are the things that protect me from isolating and being by myself.
Ever felt alone in your struggle with alcoholism? Jules V. knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of the AA Grapevine's Podcast, Jules sits down with hosts Don and Sam to share his heartfelt story of recovery. Featured in the February 2022 issue of Grapevine magazine, Jules' journey is a testament to the power of community and connection in overcoming addiction. Jules opens up about the challenges of isolation and the dangerous habit of comparing oneself to others.
He candidly discusses how these feelings can hinder recovery and shares how he managed to break free from them. One key takeaway from Jules' story is the importance of having a sponsor. He explains how his sponsor provided much-needed guidance and accountability, helping him stay on track. But it’s not just about having a sponsor; it’s about engaging with the sober community, both online and in-person. Jules talks about the benefits and limitations of online meetings.
While they offer convenience, he points out that they may lack the deep connection found in face-to-face interactions. His advice? Mix it up. Participate in both types of meetings to find what works best for you. Jules’ message is clear: Recovery is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone. His story is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with alcoholism, emphasizing that the support of a sober community can make all the difference.
Tune in to hear more about Jules' inspiring journey and discover how you too can find strength in connection.
