Every moment of sobriety that I've had in my life has been more meaningful than any other time in my life.

As he nears the one-year anniversary of his mother's passing, Jeff opens up about his journey through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and the hurdles he's faced along the way. This isn't Jeff's first attempt at sobriety, but it is his longest, and his experiences are nothing short of gripping.
Imagine bartending while staying sober, or buying alcohol for a dying loved one. Jeff's narrative is filled with these intense moments that highlight the complexities of addiction and recovery. He even had to drink before attending morning AA meetings to wean off alcohol. His honesty will keep you hooked and make you believe in the program's power when you commit to it.
Jeff talks about feeling like a shell of a person, unable to drink more or less, with his body shutting down. Yet, through AA, he has found a way to live in the moment, embracing each day as it comes. This episode sheds light on the importance of community support and seeking help during difficult times. Jeff's battles with insecurity and imposter syndrome are relatable for many, showing that recovery is a continuous journey.
His story also delves into the impact of alcoholism on families and the significance of making amends. Whether you're on your own path to recovery or supporting someone who is, Jeff's story offers valuable insights and encouragement. Tune in to hear how he navigates these challenges and finds strength in the AA community.
