So far this has been working for me and it's a blessing, and you know it has nothing to do with me in terms of.
Jay S.'s story is one of resilience and transformation. Growing up in a home overshadowed by his father's drinking, Jay turned to alcohol in his early teens to escape fear and confusion. This set the stage for a tumultuous life marked by dishonesty and narcissism, which isolated him and hurt those who cared about him. Despite multiple attempts at treatment and joining AA, Jay found himself repeatedly relapsing, earning what he jokingly called a 'Ph.D. in relapsing'.
His journey took a pivotal turn when he hit rock bottom and experienced a moment of clarity. Jay finally committed to the hard work of staying sober. Now, 18 years into his sobriety, Jay shares his story with a mix of humor and heartbreak, offering a candid look at the ups and downs of recovery. His narrative is a powerful reminder of the importance of truly engaging with the AA program and the transformative power of dedication and community.
Whether you're on your own path to sobriety or supporting someone who is, Jay's journey provides valuable insights and hope.
