I looked at going to meetings being sober as the consequence, the punishment for my alcoholism.
Imagine starting your day with a hearty breakfast and a chat with someone who's turned their life around. That's exactly what happens in this episode of 'Breakfast with an Alcoholic'. This time, the spotlight is on Matt, a firefighter, yoga instructor, and dad from the East Bronx, who has just celebrated six years of sobriety. Over pancakes and coffee, Matt opens up about his battle with addiction and the path he took to reclaim his life.

Matt's involvement in Big Book Awareness Groups and a bustling Zoom AA meeting showcases his dedication to helping others find their way to sobriety. He stresses that recovery isn't a punishment but a daily gift he gives himself. His story is a powerful reminder that with community support and commitment, recovery is not just possible but profoundly rewarding.
