Alcoholics Anonymous has saved my life, not once, not twice, but over and over and over.
Meet Gerri, a cheeky Catholic Irish woman who walked into Alcoholics Anonymous at just 29 years old, ready to turn her chaotic life around. Growing up in a loud and drunk household, Gerri's journey to sobriety is nothing short of inspiring. In this episode of the 'Keep Coming Back Podcast', she candidly shares her transformation from insanity to a life filled with calm, service, love, and grace.
Gerri's story isn't just about quitting alcohol; it's about finding a new purpose and a sense of peace that she never thought possible. Gerri opens up about her early struggles with alcoholism, marked by rage and self-loathing. She talks about the pivotal role Alcoholics Anonymous played in her recovery, helping her not just once, but repeatedly. Through the support of her AA community, Gerri found hope and a path forward.
Her story is a testament to the power of fellowship and the importance of having a supportive community in the journey to sobriety.

Her story is a powerful reminder that no matter how difficult life may seem, there's always hope for a better future. Tune in to hear Gerri's full story and discover the transformative power of sobriety and community.
