AJ's Sobriety Journey: From Rock Bottom to Recovery

Life falls into good places, man, when you're sober.
Imagine growing up in a household where alcohol is as common as water. For AJ Mayer, a 25-year-old carpenter from Hunterdon County, that was his reality. In this heartfelt episode of 'Alternatives to AA', hosts Josh and Monique Robinson sit down with AJ to unpack his challenging journey to sobriety. AJ's story is a raw and honest look at the struggles of addiction, starting from his early introduction to alcohol following his parents' divorce.
His self-destructive path led him to a rock-bottom moment that landed him in the hospital just over a year ago. In part two of his story, AJ opens up about his time in rehab, the hurdles he faced, and the invaluable lessons he learned that have kept him sober since then. The conversation doesn't shy away from the gritty details, including the daunting experience of alcohol withdrawal and the day-to-day battles of staying sober.
Josh and Monique also share their own experiences, offering practical tips on coping mechanisms and the importance of maintaining healthy relationships. This episode is not just about AJ's struggle; it's a testament to the power of resilience, family support, and a positive mindset. Whether you're on your own path to sobriety or supporting someone who is, AJ's story will leave you feeling inspired and hopeful.
