No matter how long we stay sober, we never really stop growing spiritually, and it's something that we can pass on to others with absolute assurance that it will be good, not bad, absolutely.
Gary G. grew up amidst the glitz and turmoil of the music industry, with a father who was a renowned band leader and a mother who sang in the band. Despite the glamour, Gary's home life was far from harmonious, marked by his mother's alcoholism and constant parental conflict. High school at a military academy offered a brief escape, but alcohol soon found its way into Gary's life.
By college, his love for drinking rivaled the business skills he inherited from his father. As he managed his own successful pop band and booked others, his career soared, but so did his alcohol consumption. In this episode of 'AA Recovery Interviews', Howard L. sits down with Gary to unravel his journey from chaos to clarity.

He emphasizes that sobriety is not just about abstaining from alcohol but about continuous personal and spiritual development.
His journey is a testament to the transformative power of recovery and the joy that comes with living a sober life. Listeners will find Gary's story both relatable and inspiring, offering hope and guidance for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting a loved one through it. Tune in to hear how Gary turned his life around and continues to pass on the message of recovery.
