EP 261: Doug aka Saddle Tramp’s Recovery Story

 

Host: Viv aka Sober_iThrive

Guest: Doug aka Saddle Tramp

My name is Doug, aka saddle_tramp, on the IAS app.  Not my first rodeo. I was exposed to AA and recovery concepts as a child of 21 in the USAF overseas.  I stayed clean and sober for three weeks at that time.  Many moons later, I crawled back into AA and discovered the concept of online recovery in the form of sober24.com, a most magical and wonderful place and time. At the time of this writing, I haven't had a drink since August 31, 2001, smoked weed alcoholically since 9/9/2019, and haven't had a cigarette since last November.

Today, I owe my sobriety to a few local AA groups (Psychic Change in Auburn, Washington; the Edmonds Group; and Thursday Night Spiritual in Everett); my recovery circle at the Everett Recovery Cafe; the IAS app; and the kids from the app that started the whole Zoom deal to supplement their recovery outside of the app.  I appreciate the opportunity to serve the community here and meet so many of you as we trudge the sober trails together!
