In this episode of the Keep Coming Back Podcast, Paul B. shares his raw and heartfelt journey from the depths of alcoholism to a life dedicated to helping others. After a moment of clarity during a particularly dark time, Paul realised that his path was leading him towards a lonely end. This realisation spurred him to seek help through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), and since his sobriety date on June 13th, 2018, he has embraced a selfless lifestyle.
Paul recounts his early years in Chula Vista, California, where his struggles with alcohol began at a young age. His candid storytelling brings you through his high school years, filled with sports, drama, and the escalating grip of alcohol and drugs. Despite numerous attempts to turn his life around, it wasn't until he fully committed to the AA program that he found lasting change.
Paul's reflections on his journey highlight the importance of community and the transformative power of helping others. His experiences in AA meetings, working through the steps, and making amends offer hope and practical advice for those facing similar battles. With light humour and genuine emotion, Paul’s story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the profound impact of living for others.
Tune in to hear how Paul’s life has changed and why he believes Alcoholics Anonymous is the greatest thing that ever happened to him.
