Experience the emotional and inspiring tales of recovery with Matt J., who has been sober since March 2014. In this encore episode, Matt shares his compelling journey from a troubled upbringing, through the depths of alcoholism, to finding a new path in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Raised in a home filled with abuse and isolation, Matt found solace in alcohol at a young age, which spiraled into a significant problem during his college years and early career.
His drinking led to personal and financial ruin, culminating in a moment of clarity that drove him to seek help in AA. Through his candid discussion with host Howard L., Matt recounts how he initially struggled with the AA program, isolating himself even within the rooms. However, with the guidance of seasoned members, he embraced service and fellowship as key components of his recovery.
Today, Matt not only maintains his sobriety but also co-hosts the podcast "Sober Friends," where he continues to share his experience, strength, and hope with others. Matt's story is a testament to the transformative power of AA for those who commit to doing the work. His journey illustrates the profound changes that can occur when one finds the courage to ask for help and engage fully in the recovery process.
