Profile For Ryan B.

Old post, sure, and so is alcohol and the powerlessmess I entered every time I willingly filled a glass, raised my hand and poured it down.

Please allow me offer some updated information on the subject of AA meetings from an OTR truck driver's experience today. It is nearing the end of July 2022.

Nobody has to be reminded that 2020 kept people locked down. As a result people turned to seeking sanity and freedom from alcohol online. As another result, online meeting places improved and Zoom became a powerhouse for substituting in-person meetings. Those meetings continue today. As yet another result, other alcoholics took to starting Zoom rooms in an effort to reach to and help other alcoholics making places where we alcoholics can gather, support and be supported by other alcoholics.

As for me, I found sobriety through Zoom. I learned to allow a power higher than alcohol and higher than my own self to ground me and guide me toward sanity, transformation from my self-made miseries, and set me on a path to happiness, joy and freedom from alcohol and all my other afflictions. That opportunity is available to all who are willing and have a desire to stop drinking.

I am grateful beyond measure. I found my place in a meeting called Alcoholics 101: Elevators Broken, Take the Steps (link below).

I hope my share here leads other truck drivers (and anyone) to find fellowship, friendships, guidance and higher quality of life as I have. For me this journey has been an eye-opening enhancement toward coming to trust, hope and believe in a higher power, who has my absolute best interest at heart. To each his or her own understanding, of course. I can personally attest, this opportunity to become a toll-free member of Alcoholics Anonymous has been a worthy, life changing journey, the road of with has been, and God willing, will continue to be the best road I can ever hope to travel.

Thank for letting me share.
