Join host Lisa M. in the latest episode of "A Shot Glass of Recovery" as she introduces a powerful testimony from Dean, a member of the AA Solution Seekers, ODAAT and the Miracles groups. Dean, who recently celebrated 41 years of continuous sobriety, shares his poignant journey from a troubled childhood in an abusive home to finding hope and healing through Alcoholics Anonymous.

Listen to Dean recount his turbulent past, marked by his first experience of drunkenness at age nine, run-ins with the law, and a growing dependency on alcohol amidst a backdrop of family dysfunction and personal chaos. His story evolves to candidly describe the pivotal moments that led him to seek help, including the heartbreak of nearly losing his daughter shortly after her birth.

Throughout the episode, Dean discusses the profound impact of AA in his life, highlighting the transformative power of working the steps, seeking sponsorship, and finding community. Despite facing numerous challenges, including the tragic loss of his sister, Dean’s resilience shines through as he currently inspires newcomers with his unwavering commitment to sobriety and service.

Tune in to hear an honest account of overcoming adversity, and the ongoing pursuit of peace and unwavering hope in recovery, reinforced by the support of the AA community.
