This podcast is a story about Angelo, a dear friend of Bruno J.
Angelo overcame almost unheard-of life challenges to get clean and sober and teach others the lessons of living a sober life.
We learn that:
- It is possible to recover from addiction to drugs and alcohol regardless of one's life circumstances. We call the disease an equal opportunity predator and we call the 12-step program an equal opportunity saviour.
- Angelo's story usually stops people in their tracks. Here's basically an illiterate guy who ends up with a good job and helps others stay sober. That is a higher power at work.
- Angelo's belief in his form of a higher power is completely consistent with the idea of a "God of our understanding".
- Angelo "got it" right at the start, and you will notice, he never did have a relapse despite the many challenges he continues to face every day.
- His story, his charm, and his honesty continue to teach and uplift all who are privileged to know him.
