PJ's Journey: From Ireland to Sydney and Sobriety

So it was about forgetting about myself and just trying to do some service work, and my observations were that people with a quality sobriety were just trying to help, you know, and that's what I began to do.
Ever wondered how a simple story can change a life? PJ, originally from Ireland, moved to Sydney in 1989 and got sober in 1993. Growing up with a love for oral storytelling, PJ found himself drawn to the vibrant community of Sydney AA storytellers. These shared experiences became a cornerstone of his sobriety. In this episode, PJ opens up about his early struggles with ungrounded fears and feeling out of place, which led him to seek solace in alcohol.
However, after years of battling addiction, he discovered a secular path to recovery through AA Beyond Belief. PJ's story is a powerful reminder that everyone's journey to sobriety is unique. He emphasizes the importance of storytelling, fellowship, and service work in his recovery. By focusing on helping others, PJ found a way to forget about his own troubles and stay on the path to sobriety.
Tune in to hear PJ's full story and learn how the power of community and shared experiences can help you or someone you love find a path to recovery.
