I take a drink, then the drink takes a drink and then the drink takes a man, and I teared up when that guy, Mike, said that.
Imagine being an Ironman triathlete but feeling powerless against alcohol. That’s Jeff A's story. In this gripping episode of Sober Speak, Jeff opens up about his struggles with addiction and the profound changes he experienced through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). As someone who has pushed his body to the limit in triathlons, Jeff faced an entirely different kind of challenge when he realized his drinking was out of control.
He shares how AA became his lifeline, helping him not only overcome his addiction but also his ego. Jeff talks about the humbling experience of asking for help and the crucial role of finding a sponsor and a supportive community. His journey underscores the transformative power of humility and the importance of giving back to others in recovery.
Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting a loved one, Jeff's story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible with the right support and determination.
