Ever thought about how overconfidence and humility play tug-of-war in the lives of those recovering from alcoholism? In this episode of 'A is for Alcoholic', hosts John and Jerry tackle the intriguing dynamics between hubris and humility. They share personal stories from their drinking days, highlighting moments of arrogance and how it often led to unpredictable and messy situations.

But it’s not all heavy; there's a sprinkle of humor as they navigate these serious topics.
If you're someone who's on a recovery journey, supporting a loved one, or just curious about the emotional rollercoaster of sobriety, this episode offers a heartfelt look into the balancing act of hubris and humility.
