Jerry Wagner Sr.: 32 Years of Sobriety and the Power of Patience in AA

But figuring from his analytical mind that it would come in those little, you know, those little spurts...But you know, carrying the message to those who still suffer.
What does it take to stay sober for over three decades? Jerry Wagner Sr., with 32 years of sobriety, offers a glimpse into his journey in this episode of 'A is for Alcoholic'. Jerry's story is one of grace, patience, and a steadfast commitment to the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). He opens up about the ongoing struggles even after years of sobriety and emphasizes the importance of maintaining one's program to help navigate life's challenges.
Jerry shares how being of service to others has deepened his spiritual connection, and how carrying the message to those still suffering has been a cornerstone of his recovery. He also addresses overcoming guilt and shame, highlighting that you don't need a dramatic 'burning bush' moment to find spirituality. Instead, simple acts of service can be profoundly transformative.
Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on this path for years, Jerry's insights offer valuable lessons on staying committed and finding peace in the journey.
