Gary Menkes grew up in Port Washington, NY, where his battle with alcoholism began in his early teens. In this heartfelt episode of the Sobertown Podcast, hosted by Drifter, Gary shares his deeply personal journey from the depths of addiction to a life transformed by sobriety. He opens up about the toll alcohol took on his health, relationships, and career, and the pivotal moment on May 13, 2006, that marked the beginning of his recovery journey.
Gary's story is a testament to the power of determination and the support found in sober communities. Now an active member of Alcoholics Anonymous in New York, Gary is married to the love of his life and a proud father of two. He credits his sobriety for these blessings and is passionate about giving back. He's even launching his own podcast, The Begin Again Podcast, to inspire others with stories of overcoming addiction and finding success in various fields.
This episode is a powerful reminder that no matter how far one has fallen, there's always hope for a new beginning.
