Being a part of Alcoholics Anonymous is both a right and a privilege—to anyone that wants to quit drinking. Ahmad’s Experience, Strength and Hope will touch the newcomer and the old-timer with just the same amounts of wisdom.
Imagine reaching a point where planning your own death seems like the only way out. That's the dark place Ahmad found himself in before his remarkable journey to sobriety began. In this gripping episode of the 'Keep Coming Back Podcast', Ahmad shares his story of battling alcohol addiction, hitting rock bottom, and finding a new sense of purpose through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Ahmad’s tale isn't just about quitting drinking; it's about a profound spiritual transformation that changed his life forever.
Ahmad recounts the wild times he had while drinking and the stark contrast of the emptiness he felt when he tried to stop. He could quit temporarily, but staying sober seemed impossible. His turning point came after a harrowing trip to Brazil, where he fell violently ill and realized that ending his life wasn't the solution.
This was the beginning of his journey with AA, where he discovered that sobriety was not just about abstaining from alcohol but about embracing a spiritual program. Through AA, Ahmad learned that being a 'dry drunk'—someone who abstains from alcohol without addressing the underlying issues—is both dangerous and lonely. He found solace and community in AA meetings, where he began to understand that fear is the opposite of love and that spiritual growth is essential for lasting sobriety.
Ahmad's story is a testament to the transformative power of AA's spiritual principles and the importance of regular meetings. Ahmad's journey is filled with moments of deep reflection and hard-earned wisdom. He shares how his father's advice to never lie to two people on this planet stuck with him and eventually guided him towards honesty and self-acceptance.
His story is a powerful reminder that no matter how hopeless things may seem, there is always a path to peace, happiness, and a new sense of direction. Tune in to hear Ahmad's inspiring journey from despair to spiritual awakening, and discover how AA can offer hope and transformation to anyone struggling with alcohol addiction.
