Chuck's Journey: From Bar Owner to AA Mentor

Chuck now fills a leadership role within a local AA meeting where he mentors individuals mandated to attend meetings.
Imagine owning a bar but knowing deep down that you need to quit drinking and using drugs. That's the crux of Chuck's story on 'A Sober Story Podcast'. Chuck describes himself as the 'poster boy' for high-functioning alcoholism, using substances to navigate his daily life. His wake-up call came when he faced potential jail time after failing his interlock breathalyzer test for the second time. Realizing he couldn't outsmart the system any longer, Chuck decided to make a change.
Now, he plays a pivotal role in a local AA meeting, mentoring individuals who are mandated to attend. Despite his past struggles, Chuck enjoys an occasional glass of wine with his wife but has been clean from drugs for 12 years. His journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of community support in recovery. Chuck's story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about transformation and the ongoing effort to maintain sobriety.
Tune in to hear how Chuck turned his life around and now helps others do the same.
