AJ's Quest: Finding Strength in AA Home Groups
“Going to meetings, it points me in the right direction. It allows me to spend time with five grandkids that while I was drinking, they weren't the focus when I was with them. I just think being honest with the ones closest to me about my emotions- and that's been the part in my journey that's been the biggest success and it was my biggest failure while I was drinking.”
What if visiting every AA meeting in your city could be the key to staying sober? In this episode of the AA Grapevine Podcast, hosts Don and Sam chat with AJ, who took on this very challenge just eight months into his sobriety.
