In the latest episode of AA Grapevine's podcast, Don and Olis chat with Greg, an AA member whose story of transformation is nothing short of inspiring. Greg opens up about his journey to sobriety, sharing how a patient twelfth stepper played a crucial role in guiding him to AA.
He reflects on the beginnings of his home group, the Princeton Alternative Group in New Jersey, and how it provided a lifeline during his recovery. With humour and honesty, Greg talks about the seemingly simple yet impactful advice he received, like the importance of making your bed every morning.
