So I expressed, like a serious intention: I'm going to get sober when I turn, and that was in August, and I didn't actually go to an aa meeting again until The End Of November.
Dean’s story starts in what many would call a typical suburban family in New Jersey. Sneaking sips from his parents' liquor cabinet in his early teens seemed harmless at first. But things took a darker turn when he began stealing cases of wine from his job as a dishwasher, hiding them in his bedroom closet, and drinking alone in the woods.
By 19, Dean was drinking daily, and by 21, he experienced a blackout that lasted two and a half months. This episode of Steppin' Out Radio dives into Dean’s battle with alcoholism and his incredible journey towards recovery. Dean candidly shares how his casual drinking spiraled into a full-blown addiction and the severe consequences that followed. Despite hitting rock bottom, Dean found the strength to seek help.
He talks about the pivotal role of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and a supportive sober living community in his path to sobriety. Dean’s story is a powerful reminder that no matter how deep the struggle, there is always hope for recovery. If you're looking for a raw and inspiring tale of transformation, this episode offers both reality and optimism.
