It took more than 20 years of attending Alcoholics Anonymous before he became willing to do whatever it took to get and remain sober. Todd woke one morning with an almost sudden realization that he had to live the rest of his life sober, and so he began to do the work and work the program; he's been sober since.
Todd’s story on the 'Keep Coming Back Podcast' is a gripping tale of persistence, self-discovery, and the transformative power of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Imagine waking up one day with a sudden, profound realization that you need to change your life completely. That’s exactly what happened to Todd after over 20 years of sporadically attending AA meetings without fully committing. His journey is a rollercoaster of highs and lows, but ultimately, it’s a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction.
Todd candidly shares his early struggles with alcohol, marked by blackouts and an overwhelming lack of control. He initially joined AA meetings with a selfish motive—managing consequences rather than seeking genuine change. His turning point came when his wife confronted him about his drinking problem, pushing him to reevaluate his approach to sobriety. One morning, Todd woke up with a clear realization: he had to live the rest of his life sober.
This epiphany marked the beginning of his true commitment to the AA program. Throughout the episode, Todd highlights the vital role of prayer and meditation in maintaining his sobriety. He also discusses the importance of having a sponsor—someone who guided him through the tough times and kept him accountable. Despite numerous challenges, Todd remains steadfast in his commitment to staying sober, taking it one day at a time.
Todd’s narrative is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, no matter how long or arduous the journey might be. His story underscores the significance of community support and personal dedication in overcoming addiction. Tune in to hear Todd’s inspiring journey and discover how AA helped him transform his life.
