  • Bruno R. – Sober 12 Years

    Bruno R. – Sober 12 Years
    2025/01/22
    In his late teens, Bruno R. initially attended Alcoholics Anonymous to satisfy the terms of probation after his first DWI. His half-hearted attempts resulted in short stints of sobriety. But he wasn’t ready to do what AA suggested. Even after violating his probation with another DWI, Bruno remained resistant to AA recovery and continued to drink. Facing felony charges after his third DWI in Texas, Bruno was looking at ten years in prison. Somehow, the courts another chance to embrace AA. After years of drinking and regular drug use as a functional alcoholic, Bruno finally reached the bottom of the bottom. The next time he walked into Alcoholics Anonymous, he was ready to get a sponsor, attend meetings, study the Big Book, and be of service to his fellow alcoholics. That was twelve years ago and Bruno has remained a ready and willing participant in his own recovery. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Bruno for a dozen years and it’s gratifying to see him be of service to other men. I am happy to share his enthusiasm for the Program and his cheerful approach to the very basics of staying sober one day at a time. So please sit back for this new episode of AA Recovery Interviews while you soak up the words of my friend and AA brother, Bruno R. If you’ve enjoyed my AA Recovery Interviews podcast, check out my latest audio book, “Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How More Than One Hundred Men Have Recovered From Alcoholism”. This is the word-for-word, cover-to-cover reading of the First Edition of the Big Book, published in 1939. It’s a comfortable, meaningful, and engaging way to listen to the Big Book anytime, anyplace. Have a free listen at Audible, i-Tunes, or Amazon. While you're there, have a listen to "Lost Stories of the Big Book, 30 Original Stories Missing from the 3rd and 4th Editions of Alcoholics Anonymous." It’s an engaging audiobook I narrated to bring these stories to life for AA members who’ve never seen them. These timeless testimonials were originally cut to make room for newer stories in the 3rd and 4th Editions. But their vitally important messages of hope are as meaningful today as when they were first published. Many listeners will hear these stories for the first time. Lost Stories of the Big Book is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. It’s also available as a Kindle book and in Paperback from Amazon if you’d like to read along with the audio.

  • Brent F. – Sober Since November 2018 (Encore Episode)

    Brent F. – Sober Since November 2018 (Encore Episode)
    2025/01/15
    [This is an encore of Episode 61 originally released January 19, 2022]. It was 1996 when Brent first attempted to get sober. But like so many others, it took him several attempts to fully embrace AA and do the work necessary to achieve solid and contented sobriety. Those earlier attempts at sobriety included significant stints in AA over the years, during which time he went to meetings and actually got to know members of the fellowship. But his half-hearted efforts, and a belief that he could still smoke pot, thwarted his efforts at sustained or meaningful sobriety. He slipped time and time again. Though his marriage and job remained largely intact through the years, his slow descent into hopelessness and despair were marked indicators that he indeed needed help. It took two interventions, three treatment centers, multiple forays in AA, and a threatened divorce before Brent’s desire to stay sober finally surfaced from within. It was at that point that he experienced the spiritual impetus to get sober for good and all. And that meant no more marijuana, prescription drugs, or alcohol. In the three years of Brent’s current sobriety, he has worked the Program as suggested while staying in the middle of the herd. He goes to daily meetings, studies the Big Book, works the 12 Steps with his sponsor and sponsees, prays, and does service work for his AA groups. And, unlike earlier periods of faint sobriety, he ignores marijuana’s beguilement as a harmless threat to his sobriety. It’s an approach that has worked successfully for many people with whom Brent surrounds himself. I found significant similarities in Brent’s story with my own, especially those pertaining to marijuana’s persistent, baffling and insidious allure. You may find such similarities as well. So clear your schedule for the next hour of AA Recovery Interviews with my friend and AA Brother, Brent F. If you’ve enjoyed my AA Recovery Interviews series, have a listen to Lost Stories of the Big Book, 30 Original Stories Missing from the 3rd and 4th Editions of Alcoholics Anonymous.

  • Claire H. – Sober 29 Years

    Claire H. – Sober 29 Years
    2025/01/08
    Claire H. arrived in America from Great Britain 32 years ago as a full-blown alcoholic. It took her another three years before she got sober in AA. Growing up in England, the ubiquity of social drinking found in countless local pubs lead her to start drinking at 14. That constant exposure to alcohol, plus her father’s untreated alcoholism at home, seemed to predestine Claire’s future addiction to alcohol and drugs. By the time her father died from the disease at age 46, Claire had found the grief-numbing relief offered by booze and drugs. From there, her life became prey to the disease, though she managed to stave-off many of its deleterious effects well into her twenties. But heroin entered the picture and accelerated Claire’s abuse of alcohol. She somehow skirted the worst consequences of that deadly mix only to find herself at the edge of the abyss at age 30. Thoroughly beaten by the disease, with little reason to go on, Claire finally found the doors of Alcoholics Anonymous. Though somewhat resistant to the Program in the beginning, she constantly attended meetings. That, plus intensive Step work with her sponsor and service work along the way, inevitably changed the trajectory of her life to one of meaning and purpose. Claire attributes her success in the Program to the same continuous work and involvement that kept her sober in the first place. As an active member of her vibrant AA community, she personifies her love for the Program by continually doing the simple things we tell newcomers to do if they are to stay sober. What’s more, her participation in various Zoom meetings around the world has attracted many people to her enthusiastic approach toward sobriety. Claire’s willingness to share her story has been a fine gift to me and I’m thrilled to share it with you. It’s a story that’s both inspirational and intriguing. So, please enjoy today’s episode of AA Recovery Interviews with my friend and AA sister, Claire H.
