I feel like it's one of those things where you know, people have to figure those things out for themselves, you know.
Ever heard the saying, 'You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink'? This episode of 'A is for Alcoholic' dives into that exact sentiment, especially in the early days of sobriety.

They also discuss the importance of service—how helping others can actually help you stay sober. But it's not all serious; there's some light-hearted banter about sugar cravings and how they sneak up on you when you least expect it.
Whether you're just starting out or have been on this path for a while, this episode offers relatable stories and practical tips to keep you steady on your journey. Tune in for a mix of humor, honesty, and heartfelt advice.
