EP 244: David’s Recovery Story

David is 37 years sober& King13 was curious how!
David begins talking about the last night he took a drink, he was thirty six and a regular bar drinker.  He remembers taking his first drink at sixteen and thinking he liked it so he would try it again. Over the years his drinking progressed.  At first David attending AA Meetings and he was not convinced about the 12 steps and the higher power.  However realizing he needed to stop one day  after two months of meetings he found his 
obsession for alcohol lifted and yet he had no logical explanation why.  He did work the 12 steps,
has never had a slip and considers himself recovered from the cravings and has accepted he is wired differently.  He said "when he picks up alcohol it is like rolling the dice" and if you can no longer drink safely, you have a problem. Today no longer an introvert, he is a friend amongst friends and recommends that you do the work in front of you.  We do not have to do this alone. This is not a solo sport and a recovery world of friends await.
Thank you David.
