When we began a process of recovery, we didn’t know what to expect. We only knew that drinking and/or drugging was destroying us. Hopefully, we get to the point where the fear of the unknown outweighed the pain of staying in the disease.
For those of us in A.A., we hear certain promises that we’ll receive as a result of working the 12 steps.

When we began a process of recovery, we didn’t know what to expect. We only knew that drinking and/or drugging was destroying us. Hopefully, we get to the point where the fear of the unknown outweighed the pain of staying in the disease.
For those of us in A.A., we hear certain promises that we’ll receive as a result of working the 12 steps. Though they seemed somewhat unobtainable when compared to how things were for us, after some time of doing the work, we could see them coming true. In this week’s episode Cameron and Willy talk about the A.A. promises and what they mean in their lives today.
This week’s topic was inspired by our Warstory from Daniel. Daniel’s story had him all over the map, in and out of prison, homeless and destitute. He finally found hope in an Alano club in Ogden, Utah and it was there where he gained the knowledge and did the work to see the promises begin to come true in his life. Hear what his life is like today!
