Picture waking up one Tuesday morning and deciding, 'I've had enough'. That's exactly what happened to Geoff. His story on the 'Keep Coming Back Podcast' is a raw, no-nonsense account of hitting rock bottom and climbing back up with the help of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Geoff's 'I don’t give a shit' attitude was transformed into humility and gratitude through the program, and he shares this transformation with an honesty that's both refreshing and relatable.

For Geoff, the turning point came when drinking stopped providing any pleasure. He vividly recalls, 'You drink and you don’t get drunk, or you don’t get the same pleasuring effect, that’s what was happening to me . . . I’m getting no satisfaction out of this.' That realization led him to his first AA meeting, and he hasn't looked back since. Geoff's story is filled with insights into the importance of sponsorship, service, and finding a higher power.

He also talks candidly about maintaining sobriety during the COVID-19 pandemic, a time that tested many in recovery. His journey is a testament to the power of community support and the AA program. If you're looking for a straightforward, inspiring tale of recovery, Geoff's episode is a must-listen.
