Ernie G.'s story is one for the books. In this episode of AA Recovery Interviews, Howard L. sits down with Ernie, who has been sober since August 2005. Ernie's journey takes you through a whirlwind of high-class living, fast cars, and glamorous nightclubs—all funded by a high-paying job and cocaine dealing on the side. His lifestyle eventually spiralled out of control, leading to his arrest in a DEA sting and time in federal prison. But that's just the beginning.
After his release, Ernie struggled with alcohol addiction, which wreaked havoc on his marriage and family life. A moment of clarity during a business meeting turned his life around, thanks to the support of three dedicated AA members who helped him find his way back to sobriety. Today, Ernie is a testament to the power of hard work, prayer, and service within the AA community.
His story is not just about recovery; it's about redemption and the possibility of rebuilding a life from the ashes. If you're looking for an inspiring tale of resilience and hope, this episode is a must-listen.
