Twice Gifted: Tim B.'s Journey from Liver Failure to a Sober Life

I find joy in my daily life, in being of service, in simply being.
Imagine hitting rock bottom, not once, but twice. That's the heart-wrenching yet inspiring story Tim B. shares in this episode of 'The Big Book Study'. Tim's battle with alcohol began early, using it as a crutch to connect with others. What started as a social lubricant quickly spiraled into daily drinking, leading to severe health issues. Diagnosed with liver failure, Tim's life hung by a thread. But this isn't just a tale of despair; it's one of remarkable recovery.
Through the support of Alcoholics Anonymous, Tim found the strength to not only quit drinking but also to embrace a life-saving liver transplant. Tim's story underscores the transformative power of seeking help and the pivotal role spirituality can play in recovery. He reflects, 'I find joy in my daily life, in being of service, in simply being'. This episode offers a raw and real look at the highs and lows of addiction and the incredible journey towards sobriety.
Whether you're struggling yourself or supporting someone who is, Tim's story provides hope and practical insights into overcoming addiction.
