I like the life that I have Today, and you know I had all the makings I thought of a good life, but I didn't have any kind of peace and serenity.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after hitting rock bottom? Alan's story on the 'Keep Coming Back Podcast' is a compelling tale of transformation and resilience. With over two decades of sobriety under his belt, Alan opens up about his tumultuous journey through alcoholism, multiple DUIs, and a painful divorce. His candid account is not just about the struggle but also about the incredible turnaround he achieved through the support of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).
Alan paints a vivid picture of feeling like an outsider in his own life, constantly seeking his father's approval. This led him down a dark path, but it was in the 'rooms' of AA that he found the magic he needed to change his life. From being four years dry to celebrating over 24 years of sobriety, Alan's story is filled with gratitude, humility, and a touch of poetic reflection.
He shares how he went from the brink of despair to enjoying the blessings of life, including two cherished grandkids. Alan's tale is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is. It's a reminder that recovery is possible, and the journey, though tough, is incredibly rewarding.
