I was hoping you people could teach me how to drink on Friday and Saturday and still make it to work on Monday.

Geoff S. takes the mic in this heartwarming episode of Recovery Radio Network, sharing his journey through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) with honesty and a dash of humour. From his initial days of sobriety to the ups and downs of his personal life, Geoff paints a vivid picture of what it means to find recovery and maintain it.

You'll hear about his early struggles, including a rocky relationship with his father and the chaotic days of heavy drinking, which eventually led him to AA. Geoff's story is filled with relatable moments, such as the time he tried to balance his drinking with work, only to realise that slowing down wasn't enough—it was about stopping entirely.

His reflections on spirituality and maintaining a 'daily reprieve' offer practical advice for anyone on a similar path.
