It was like a dam broke and I just bawled and bawled and bawled for a couple of days. Those were good days, though, like Bill, Bill had a light around him.
Imagine living over 70 years with the ups and downs of addiction and recovery. In this episode of 'Voices in Recovery', Wayne Lewry, father of host David Lewry, opens up about his life story. From his early struggles with alcoholism to a pivotal spiritual awakening after a gang fight, Wayne's journey is nothing short of remarkable.
He talks candidly about his brushes with the law and the moment he realized he needed help, leading him to recovery programs and eventually ministry work. Wayne shares how community and relationships have been cornerstones in his path to sobriety. His involvement with Recovering Couples Anonymous and other support groups has not only aided his own recovery but also helped countless others.
A significant part of Wayne's story is his exploration of spirituality versus religion, and how connecting with a higher power has been a game-changer for him. He offers practical insights and heartfelt lessons that anyone on a recovery journey can benefit from. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom, hope, and the enduring power of community and spirituality in overcoming addiction.
