I think I don't even know what my anger was really even towards. And what would happen is I never really threw up at night, like I'm from drinking too much.
How do you realize you have a problem when addiction is all you've ever known? In this episode of 'Alternatives to AA', Josh and Monique chat with AJ Mayer, a 25-year-old carpenter who grew up in a household where drinking was the norm. AJ's story isn't just about hitting rock bottom; it's about the difficult path he walked to climb back up.
Introduced to alcohol at a young age, AJ's life took a dark turn after his parents' divorce, leading him down a self-destructive road. His time working at a liquor store only fueled his addiction, making it harder to break free. AJ shares the pivotal moments that led to his realization and eventual sobriety, including the day he was hospitalized over a year ago.
He talks openly about the emotional struggles and anger he faced in early recovery and how his support system played a crucial role in his journey. This episode sheds light on the complexities of addiction and the power of community in overcoming it. If you're looking for an honest, heartfelt discussion on the realities of battling addiction and finding hope, AJ's story is one you won't want to miss.
