Greg R's story is a powerful testament to the transformative journey from alcoholism to sobriety. Growing up in rural Appalachia, Greg didn't touch alcohol until he was of legal age. But once he had his first drink, stopping became an insurmountable challenge. Over a decade of battling alcoholism, Greg's life spiraled into lies and deceit, especially towards his wife. It wasn't until he hit rock bottom that he acknowledged his problem and sought help.

His turning point came through listening to podcasts and participating in online AA meetings. Now, as he approaches one year of sobriety, Greg reflects on the crucial steps that helped him reclaim his life. He emphasizes the importance of admitting one's struggles and making amends with those affected by his addiction.

Greg shares, 'You need to say: I'm sorry to some people that you thought you'd never speak to again and you might not ever again after you say you're sorry or you make your amends, whatever that is, do it, do it'. Greg's journey highlights the importance of finding what works for you in maintaining sobriety, whether it's reading the Big Book or attending regular meetings.

He finds joy in sober living, noting that activities once done under the influence are far more enjoyable sober. Greg's story is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction, showing that recovery and redemption are possible.
