Stephen Fuccello returns for part two of his riveting story on Sober Shares, revealing how his journey of sobriety has evolved over the years.

Stephen's story is filled with moments of profound realisation and spiritual awakening.

This encounter became a pivotal point in his recovery, symbolising the hope and support found within the AA community.
Stephen's journey is not just about his own recovery but also about helping others.
