From Barstools to Brighter Days: John S. Shares His Journey on A is for Alcoholic

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.
With hosts John and Jerry, the conversation flows through the ups and downs of John's path, offering a raw and real look at what it takes to rebuild a life once centered around alcohol. John S. doesn't shy away from discussing the dark times. He talks candidly about the numerous DUIs that marked his life and the string of bar jobs he lost along the way. But what stands out is his resilience and determination to change.
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. But it wasn't just about quitting drinking; it was about learning to live a kinder, more fulfilling life.
One touching moment in the episode is when John talks about rediscovering the ability to love—something that had been overshadowed by his addiction. This episode isn't just for those battling addiction; it's for anyone who believes in second chances and the power of transformation. Whether you're struggling yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the process of recovery, John S.'s story offers hope and inspiration.
