Get ready to be inspired by Cliff G., a man whose journey through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is both heart-wrenching and hopeful. In this episode of Recovery Radio Network, Cliff shares his story of overcoming alcoholism, starting from his first drink at age 11 to his eventual sobriety on August 15, 2001.
With a blend of humour and raw honesty, Cliff takes you through the highs and lows of his life, including the impact of his drinking on his career, family, and mental health. Cliff talks about the spiritual malady that plagued him and how he found solace in AA meetings. He reflects on the importance of community and support, emphasising how AA members, like his friend Don, played crucial roles in his recovery.
Cliff's anecdotes, such as following a stranger to the bathroom every time they went during a meeting, add a touch of levity to his otherwise serious narrative.

Yet, despite these challenges, Cliff's story is one of redemption.
He talks about making amends with federal judges and finding a new purpose in helping others through AA. If you're looking for a story that combines humour, honesty, and hope, this episode is a must-listen. Cliff's journey is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, no matter how deep the struggle.
