Get ready for a heartfelt and raw conversation in this episode of Alcoholics Alive! where Shank and Wayne sit down with Brie G. to talk about her journey through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Brie opens up about her struggles with alcohol, starting from her first drink at the age of 12 to her road to recovery. She shares how she found solace in AA and how sponsorship played a crucial role in her sobriety.
With a mix of humour and honesty, Brie discusses the importance of choosing the right sponsor, the challenges of staying sober, and the concept of 'SLIP' - sobriety losing its priority. Brie's story is a rollercoaster of highs and lows, filled with personal anecdotes that many will find relatable. She talks about the initial scepticism she felt when introduced to AA by fellow inmates while in jail, and how seeing happy, sober people inspired her to give it a shot.

Shank and Wayne also add their own experiences and insights, making this episode a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone involved in or curious about AA.

This episode is a testament to the power of sharing experiences and supporting one another in the journey to a healthier, alcohol-free life.
