Hey there, friend! Welcome back to the Speaker Series on A Shot Glass of Recovery. I’m Lisa M., your host, and I'm thrilled to have you join us for another inspiring episode.
This episode, get ready to dive deep with our guest speaker, Kyle H., a member of AA Solution Seekers, sharing his incredible journey from the edge of despair to a life filled with experience, strength, and hope. Kyle, with a sobriety date of October 17th, 2020, takes us through his transformational story, beginning with his first steps in AA, his moments of clarity, and the steps he follows to maintain his sobriety today.
Growing up in the tiny rural town of Geneva, Ohio, Kyle lived a life shadowed by alcoholism, always feeling something between him and the world, a wall he couldn’t climb over. He candidly explores his early struggles, that first taste of alcohol that created a divide between him and his inner demons, and the misleading comfort it provided.
Kyle speaks honestly about hitting rock bottom during the COVID era, which ironically led him to work in a treatment center and face his truths head-on. His story is packed with honesty, moments of sheer vulnerability, and the powerful changes brought forth by embracing the AA program.
With warmth and genuine humility, Kyle shares how finding AA, accepting help, and working the 12 steps transformed his perspective and life. He emphasizes the importance of trust in the process, honesty, and willingness to change, highlighting how these became his guiding lights to sobriety.
If you’re on your journey to recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a relatable and raw perspective on finding strength through connection, the importance of community, and the miracles that come with spiritual awakening.
So grab a cozy seat, open your heart, and listen as Kyle walks us through turning incredible odds into a life filled with hope and gratitude. And remember, you're never alone on this path. Until next time, take care, and keep seeking solutions.
