You know, as corny as it may sound, but I'm able to love now, that wasn't a thing or a priority, or it wasn't part of the agenda.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after hitting rock bottom? In this episode of 'A is for Alcoholic', John S. opens up about his tumultuous journey from a life dominated by DUIs and lost bar gigs to finding sobriety and a renewed sense of purpose.

The episode highlights how geographical change played a pivotal role in his recovery, offering him a fresh start and new opportunities. A significant part of John's story is the role of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) in his journey. He shares how AA provided him with the support and community he desperately needed.
