Matt C. shares his journey from growing up in an Irish alcoholic family, experiencing childhood abuse, and starting drinking in high school, to finding lasting sobriety at age 19. Early on, he resisted being labeled an alcoholic, tried controlling his drinking, and faced legal trouble, but consequences never stopped him. Initially involved in AA without working the 12 steps, his recovery deepened after moving to North Carolina, where a sponsor guided him through the Big Book, steps, and service work.
He describes building a life with a wife and two children, buying the same house he almost lost to drinking, and actively showing love to his kids—breaking the cycle from his own upbringing. Over the years, he’s had to re-work the steps to address “spiritual plaque,” faced depression after his daughter’s birth, and recommitted to AA after drifting away. Today, he sponsors others, practices daily spiritual disciplines, and lives in gratitude for the transformation from a hopeless alcoholic to a loving father and useful member of society.
