Tim C.: From Juvenile Hall to 30 Years Sober

I'm not ashamed to be an alcoholic... I'm grateful because I have a program of living that really works.
Imagine growing up feeling like an outcast, rejected at every turn, and in and out of juvenile hall. That was Tim C.'s life. With a history of drug dealing and racking up eight DUIs, Tim thought he was destined for a life of struggle. But then he found Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and everything changed. Now, with over 30 years of sobriety under his belt, Tim shares his incredible journey on the 'Keep Coming Back Podcast'.
Tim's story is a testament to the power of AA's program. He dives deep into Step 4, which he calls the first solid proof of his commitment to recovery. This step allowed him to start letting go of his past and making amends. Tim's reflections on this step offer a glimpse into the hard work and honesty required to truly change one's life. But it's not just about the steps.
Tim emphasizes the importance of spiritual growth and connection in maintaining sobriety and finding joy. He proudly states, "I'm not ashamed to be an alcoholic, I'm grateful because I have a program of living that really works". His gratitude and positive outlook are inspiring reminders of what recovery can bring. The episode also touches on broader topics like society and the current state of the world, weaving in AA-related questions and reflections.
Tim's journey is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding hope, joy, and a new way of living. Tune in to hear Tim's story and be inspired by his transformation.
