Jerry J. takes the stage in this episode of Recovery Radio Network, sharing his journey through alcoholism and the transformative power of the Twelve Steps. With a blend of humour and raw honesty, Jerry recounts his experiences as a lawyer grappling with self-centredness and the impact it had on his personal and professional life. He opens up about his initial disbelief when his wife attended Al-Anon meetings and how that revelation sparked a deeper understanding of his own behaviours.
Jerry's anecdotes, from training rebellious fish to facing the fear of being outed as an alcoholic, are both relatable and enlightening. His reflections on the importance of self-examination and the role of humility in recovery offer valuable lessons for anyone on a similar path. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, Jerry's story is a testament to the power of honesty, community, and the willingness to change.
