It's the simple things in life that make me happy, and that's all due to the program of alcoholics anonymous and not drinking One Day at a time.
John's story is a powerful reminder of how early experiences can shape our lives. As a child, he took his first sip of alcohol at church, a seemingly innocent act that marked the beginning of a long struggle. John recalls never feeling comfortable in his own skin, a discomfort that alcohol temporarily eased. But what started as occasional drinking spiraled into a full-blown addiction during his time working in a restaurant, where access to booze was unlimited.
His health deteriorated to dangerous levels, pushing him to confront his addiction head-on. Hospitalizations and fleeting attempts at sobriety punctuated his journey until he found a lifeline in Alcoholics Anonymous. Through AA, John discovered the joy in life's simple moments and learned to live without the crutch of alcohol. This episode of Steppin' Out Radio offers a candid look at John's path from the brink of death to finding hope and resilience in recovery.
