Ron's journey is a rollercoaster of highs and lows, marked by four DUIs, a stint in county jail, and a pivotal moment when he traded his three-year sobriety chip for a bottle.
Faced with the stark choice between getting sober or succumbing to alcoholism, Ron decided to fully commit to the AA program.

Despite his passion for aviation, alcohol slowly began to take over his life.
His tales of near-misses and dangerous escapades, like making an emergency landing while drunk, paint a vivid picture of the chaos that alcohol brought into his life. The turning point came during his 90-day jail sentence, where he realised that continuing down the same path would only lead to more misery and potentially prison. Ron's story is filled with raw honesty and moments of reflection that highlight the power of AA and the importance of finding a supportive community.
He shares how he found solace and purpose in the AA rooms, eventually becoming an active member and helping others on their journey to sobriety. Ron’s narrative is not just about overcoming addiction; it’s about becoming the person he always wanted to be. His story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of recovery.
