My name's JJ, and I'm an alcoholic. You will hear that sentence with different names repeated dozens of times every time you go to a 12-step meeting, thousands of times in a year, and tens of thousands of times during a lifetime in a 12-step recovery program, to the point that it becomes normal. It's just a label. And everyone in 12-step meetings is in the same boat we are, because they introduce themselves the same way we do.
Ever wondered what it takes to truly own your story of addiction?

Whether you're on your own path to sobriety or supporting someone who is, JJ's heartfelt reflections and unfiltered honesty offer a fresh perspective on recovery.
Tune in for a mix of raw truths, uplifting moments, and maybe even a chuckle or two as you navigate the complex landscape of addiction and recovery.
