Nelson A's Path to Sobriety: Finding Strength in Community and Self-Discovery

This program made me a better person than I was and made me a better man. They said I was so small they could put me in a little shoe. But you know, on the way up there, my granddaddy, before I left, my granddaddy told me he said: look, never drink red liquor because you come to be a drunk.
Ever found yourself in a room full of strangers, feeling utterly lost? That’s exactly where Nelson A’s story begins. He started drinking at a young age, and it quickly spiraled out of control. But everything changed when he met Pete Mann in an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. Pete's advice was simple: attend meetings and keep quiet. Nelson followed this advice for a year before realizing he hadn't truly grasped the meaning of the Fifth Step.
This epiphany set him on a new path towards genuine sobriety. Nelson’s journey is a powerful reminder of the transformative power of AA and the importance of having a supportive community. His story is not just about quitting alcohol; it's about finding oneself and the strength to stay sober. Tune in to hear Nelson A’s candid reflections and the lessons he learned along the way.
