I got drunk, got sick, passed out, got up in the morning, and went to my dad's liquor cabinet. And that's the way it started, and that's pretty much the way it stayed.
Bob T. takes centre stage in this episode of the Recovery Crone Podcast, sharing his incredible journey from the depths of addiction to a life of sobriety and gratitude. Bob's story is a rollercoaster ride through the dark alleys of alcoholism, starting with his first drink at 12 and leading to a life of crime and incarceration.

Despite the heavy themes, Bob's story is sprinkled with moments of humour and hope, making it a compelling listen for anyone seeking inspiration.

This episode is a testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit, offering a powerful reminder that no matter how dark the path, there is always light to be found.
