I needed hope and that’s exactly what people in AA gave me, they gave me hope.
Kurt S. takes you on a raw and honest journey through his life, from his first drink at the tender age of 9 to finding sobriety by 23. In this episode of Keep Coming Back Podcast, Kurt shares the transformative power of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and how it has profoundly impacted his life. His story is filled with moments of struggle, resilience, and ultimately, hope.
Kurt talks about his early childhood trauma, growing up feeling different due to severe burns, and how alcohol initially provided a much-needed escape. However, it wasn't long before drinking led to a series of destructive behaviours and consequences. By 17, Kurt attended his first AA meeting, but it took several more years of hardship before he fully embraced sobriety at 23.
He credits AA for giving him the tools to rebuild his life and maintain his sobriety for over three decades. Kurt's reflections are candid and filled with wisdom, offering valuable insights for anyone struggling with addiction or seeking support. His message is clear: you don't ever have to take another drink again if you don't want to.
This episode is a testament to the power of community, the importance of finding a supportive group, and the life-changing impact of AA's principles. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the journey, Kurt's story will resonate deeply and provide hope for a brighter future.
