How do individuals turn their lives around after addiction? In this engaging encore episode of AA Recovery Interviews, Justin M. shares his inspiring journey to sobriety, which began in June 2020. Hosted by Howard L., the conversation delves into Justin's life as an airline pilot whose career and marriage were nearly destroyed by alcoholism. Raised in a family with a history of alcohol abuse and mental health issues, Justin found himself following a similar path, despite warnings from his mother.
His drinking spiralled out of control, becoming a solitary habit that he struggled to hide from his family and colleagues. Justin's first attempt at sobriety was half-hearted, and he soon relapsed, finding himself in a downward spiral that threatened everything he held dear. It was only when his wife reached her breaking point and expelled him from their home that Justin sought help through his employer and pilot's union, entering an inpatient rehab facility.
The support he received from his employer and the AA community was a turning point, providing the accountability he needed to maintain his sobriety. Justin's story is one of resilience and redemption. Through the support of Alcoholics Anonymous, he rebuilt his marriage, regained his job as a trusted pilot, and became an active member of the AA community, helping others on their path to recovery.
His journey is a testament to the power of asking for help and the transformative impact of the AA program. Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? Dive into Justin's story and discover the strength found in vulnerability and community.
