War Stories of Sobriety: Laughs, Lessons, and Leaving the Past Behind

Those were my very last ones, and they were. When I say memorable is usually a positive connotation, but there were some memorable dark moments where it's like, oh god, and remembering those things and and knowing that again, that relief of not having to do it, and yeah, that's a weight off my ass. I'm like I've got shit to do, like no, I can't do.
Ever wondered what it’s like to look back at your wildest moments and see them as stepping stones to a better life? In this episode of 'A is for Alcoholic', the hosts dive into their own 'war stories' from their drinking days. This isn’t just a trip down memory lane; it’s a raw, sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking journey through their past.
They recount their most outrageous drunken escapades and darkest moments, showing how these experiences were crucial in pushing them toward recovery. The stories are not just for shock value but serve as a reminder of how far they've come and the lessons learned along the way.

If you’re looking for an episode that mixes humor with heartfelt reflections, this one is a must-listen.
Whether you’re in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the journey, these 'war stories' offer a blend of entertainment and inspiration.
