A blessing to live a life free from the pain and degradation of drinking and filled with the joy of useful, sober living, and a privilege to grow in sobriety one day at a time and bring the message of hope as it was brought to me.
Growing up in Harlem as one of seven children, Robert always felt like an outsider. Facing rejection for being both gay and a ballet dancer, his early life was filled with painful emotions and secrecy. Despite excelling academically, no amount of knowledge could keep him sober. By the age of nine, Robert was already drinking heavily, setting the stage for a tumultuous journey ahead.
Homeless and hopeless, he eventually found solace in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), where he discovered the spiritual solution he had been searching for since childhood. This episode of the 'Keep Coming Back Podcast' features Robert's raw and honest account of his 29-year journey to sobriety. From battling rejection and secrecy to overcoming homelessness, Robert's story is a testament to the transformative power of AA.
He speaks candidly about the challenges he faced and the spiritual growth that helped him find a sense of purpose and belonging. Robert's home group, which has been his sanctuary since his very first meeting, plays a crucial role in his recovery. The diversity within the group allowed him to connect with people from all walks of life, making his journey less lonely and more enriching.
Today, Robert celebrates nearly three decades of sobriety, living a life filled with joy and usefulness. His story serves as an inspiration for anyone struggling with addiction, highlighting the importance of finding a spiritual solution and embracing community support. Tune in to hear Robert's powerful narrative and gain insights into the resilience needed to overcome addiction.
