With a touch of humour and a lot of honesty, he recounts his early experiences with alcohol, starting as young as eight years old when he finished his father's beer while mowing the lawn. He vividly describes his struggles with peer pressure, school life, and the sense of not fitting in, which led him deeper into addiction.

From multiple DUIs and jail time to finding solace in AA meetings and the support of his sponsor, Jay's narrative is raw and relatable. He talks about the shame, guilt, and remorse he felt, and how looking in the mirror was a painful reminder of his actions. But it’s not all dark; Jay also shares moments of light, like discovering his higher power and the community that helped him stay sober.

One of the most compelling parts of Jay's story is his involvement with the Fifth Chapter motorcycle club and the impact it had on his sobriety. He emphasises the importance of service and helping others as a way to maintain his own recovery. Jay's message is clear: no matter how tough things get, you don't have to drink or use today.
