During Alcohol Awareness Week in November 2020, 5 of our members had a chat with BBC Radio Lancashire presenter Garry Scott about their issues with alcoholism (alcohol addiction), described how they got sober and recovered from the illness.
The fifth and final story from this series of radio broadcasts is from a member called Carl who started drinking at the age of 15 at a Christmas party. He recognised early in his drinking career that when he took a drink he wanted more yet his problem continued for many years.
Thankfully you will hear how he managed to get sober and find a solution to his alcoholism with AA. He said to live without alcohol is amazing and now carries the message of AA with enthusiasm, both inside and outside of the fellowship including in Prisons and does service as a Probation Liaison Officer too.

During Alcohol Awareness Week in November 2020, 5 of our members had a chat with BBC Radio Lancashire presenter Garry Scott about their issues with alcoholism (alcohol addiction), described how they got sober and recovered from the illness.
The third story is from a member called John. He experienced issues with alcohol including burning a house down, a drinking life in the Royal Navy and family problems caused by his alcoholism.
He struggled initially getting sober as he didn't think there was a life after alcohol but has now celebrated more than 15 years continuous sobriety.
John's experience of drinking and not drinking now helps other alcoholics understand the solution to their problem...

On the 8th November 2023, 6 Overeaters Anonymous members (2 in each of the 3 Podcast's to be released) share their Experience, Strength and Hope with BBC Radio Lancashire presenter Garry Scott in their Blackburn Studio.
The members got to choose a favourite song choice pertinent to their recovery from not only compulsive overeating, but also restrictive behaviours such as anorexia,, and addictions to foods with, for example, refined Sugar.
Some of the guests are members of other fellowships including AA, including in this episode, the first of a 3 part series with a man called Mark who was sober 18 years in AA, but his food issues got worst as Mark failed to list and analyse these issues in his 1st Step 4.
Thankfully, we are happy to report today Mark is enjoying his food the best ever in his life, feeling great with a healthy eating plan, 350 days clean of his biggest problematic food refined Sugar which can be found in many processed foods and condiments, saying recently
" not needing a Chocolate bar, ice cream, cake, biscuits is a bigger miracle than stopping drinking in many respects. I am truly amazed by the results in my personality change, physique and how much more peaceful I feel now the sugar brain fog has lifted..."
We hope you enjoy this insightful journey into another key addiction issue useful, and wish you all the best for Christmas and 2025!
