True gratitude is when you can look back at life and you can be grateful for the bad things, because the bad things got you to where you're at.
Ever wondered what it takes to turn a life around after hitting rock bottom? In this episode of 'Sober Not Mature', the hosts sit down with Justin “Gio” Giovinazzo, an author who's seen the darkest sides of addiction and lived to tell the tale. Gio opens up about his tumultuous journey through alcoholism and the pivotal role Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) played in his recovery.
He shares candid stories about his struggles, the importance of finding a sponsor, and how the unique culture of Cleveland AA meetings helped him stay on track. But it’s not just about the battles. Gio talks about overcoming grief while staying sober and how writing his book became a therapeutic outlet. His experiences highlight the benefits of sober living facilities and introduce listeners to the concept of the four absolutes in AA: Honesty, Purity, Unselfishness, and Love.
These principles, he explains, have been cornerstones in his path to sobriety. The conversation is filled with raw honesty and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone facing similar struggles or supporting someone who is. Gio's story is not just one of hardship but also of hope and resilience. As he puts it, true gratitude comes from being able to look back on the bad times and appreciate how they shaped you into who you are today.
If you're looking for an episode that combines heartfelt storytelling with actionable insights, this one’s for you. Tune in to hear Gio’s inspiring journey and maybe find a nugget of wisdom that could help you or a loved one on the road to recovery.
