What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? Randy Mermell shares his journey of sobriety, revealing the inner battles that accompany recovery. With over 28 years of sobriety, Randy opens up about the struggle with alcoholism, which he describes as a disease that centres in the mind, rather than just a physical dependency on alcohol.

But it was in the depths of despair that he found solace in the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. Randy's story is one of resilience and determination. He talks about the importance of admitting complete defeat in managing one's life and how a higher power can restore sanity.

His humorous yet poignant reflections on life, love, and recovery offer listeners a unique perspective on managing inner thoughts and living a fulfilling life without alcohol.
As Randy says, "God could and would if it were sought," reminding us all of the power of faith and the importance of seeking help beyond ourselves. Are you ready to explore how an unsatisfied mind can be tamed? Randy's journey might just inspire you to find your own path to happiness.
