Silvio D - 17 Years of Untreated Alcoholism

Silvio is an active member of Cocaine Anonymous, sponsored and sponsoring, he’s been through the steps twice and is coming up to 2.5 years sober, one day at a time. He’s GSR of the "Friendship on Fridays" CA meeting in Covent Garden in London. His favourite prayer is the serenity prayer, and he hosts and publishes the 12-step recovery podcast “12 Steps & 12 Questions”.  Today, Silvio speaks to us on 17 years of untreated alcoholism.

Reco12 is all about exploring the common threads of addiction and sharing tools and hope from those on a similar path. We gather from diverse backgrounds, faiths, and places to learn and support one another. Our speakers represent various fellowships, addictions, and afflictions, thus showing the common threads of recovery, no matter our addiction or affliction.
