"If I am in charge of my life, I will drink again one day"
In this episode of Sober Cast, Tim M from London takes centre stage to share his journey and insights on the ABCs and Step 3 of the Alcoholics Anonymous programme. With a sobriety date stretching back to July 1993, Tim's experience and wisdom shine through as he addresses a virtual audience at the 24-hour International Marathon Zoom Meeting held in March 2023.
Tim starts by breaking down the ABCs: admitting powerlessness over alcohol, believing that a higher power can restore sanity, and deciding to turn one's will and life over to that higher power. He emphasises that these steps are foundational and crucial for any meaningful progress in recovery. His candid reflections on his personal struggles, including the realisation that he alone cannot manage his life without risking relapse, make for an engaging and relatable narrative.
Tim's humorous yet poignant anecdotes, like comparing alcoholism to dancing with a gorilla, add a touch of levity to his serious message. He also touches on the importance of continuous self-assessment and making amends, highlighting how these practices have helped him maintain his sobriety over the years. Tim's talk is not just about the steps but also about the daily challenges and victories in living a sober life.
His message is clear: recovery is a continuous journey that requires effort, honesty, and a willingness to seek help from a higher power and the AA community. If you're looking for inspiration, practical advice, or just a reminder that you're not alone in your struggles, this episode is a must-listen.
