The obsession to drink was the worst thing I’ve gone through in my life . . . fighting that obsession to drink.
Imagine starting life in a gang, facing prison time, and battling deep regrets. This was Willie S.'s reality. But on this episode of the 'Keep Coming Back Podcast', Willie shares how he turned his life around through the support of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). His story isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about transforming his entire existence. Willie opens up about the relentless obsession to drink, describing it as the toughest battle he's ever fought.
He knew he couldn't do it alone and found solace in the AA community. The steps he took within AA were crucial, helping him not just stay sober but find joy and freedom. One unique aspect of Willie's journey is his experience with the 2x12 intensive program. Over two days, he immersed himself in the foundational pages of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous and worked through all the steps.
This intensive approach was pivotal for him, and he repeated it several times to solidify his recovery. Willie's story is a powerful reminder that no matter how dark your past, there's always a path to a brighter future. Whether you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Willie's journey offers hope and practical insights into the transformative power of sobriety.
