In this episode, I share my personal journey of overcoming alcoholism and addiction. I opened up about my initial resistance to getting sober and the misconceptions I held about Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).

I delve into the crucial turning point of hitting rock bottom, acknowledging that everyone's experience with their lowest points can vary significantly. I also discuss the challenges of socializing and finding a sense of belonging in sobriety.
