Kenny S takes you on a journey through his personal experiences with Alcoholics Anonymous in this episode of SoberQ. He candidly shares his story of finding hope and comfort among others like himself, despite the initial reluctance and scepticism towards the concept of a higher power. With his sobriety date marking May 21st, 2014, Kenny reflects on the pivotal moments that led him to embrace a power greater than himself.

Kenny's story is a testament to the power of perseverance and the unexpected benefits of routine. Whether you're grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Kenny's narrative offers a relatable perspective filled with humour and honesty.
His insights into the struggles and triumphs of recovery are both comforting and inspiring, making this episode a must-listen for anyone on a similar path. Tune in to hear how one man's simple act of faith turned into a life-changing journey.
