I knew from that moment- and I didn't know it at the time, but I knew from that moment- that I could no longer drink and that I had to turn my will and my life over to the care of god in order for that to happen.
Imagine growing up in a world filled with verbal and physical abuse, only to find solace in the very person who caused it. That's the story of CJ, featured in this episode of the 'Keep Coming Back Podcast'. With over a dozen years of sobriety under his belt, CJ recounts his tumultuous journey from the depths of addiction to a life filled with hope and faith. The twist? His father, once a source of fear, becomes his beacon of recovery.
When CJ hit rock bottom, he reached out to his dad, who had decades of sobriety. It was his father who told him, 'Replace that fear you have with faith and you can do anything you want in this life'. This advice became CJ's guiding light. Through Alcoholics Anonymous, prayer, and meditation, CJ found a way to overcome his trauma and addiction.
His passion for the Big Book is palpable as he describes it as 'one of the greatest pieces of literature known to man'. CJ's story is not just about personal recovery; it's about the power of community and the importance of passing on the message of hope to others. Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, CJ's journey offers a powerful reminder that change is possible with faith and support.
