In this powerful episode, AJ shares his remarkable journey of overcoming addiction, a path that has taken him through six treatment centers and nearly to the brink of death. He opens up about his struggle with alcohol, which began in his youth and escalated after bariatric surgery in 2019. Despite numerous setbacks, AJ found a turning point at Beachway Therapy Center, where a life-altering letter from his wife and a supportive treatment team helped him confront the painful truths about his addiction.
AJ discusses how humility, surrendering his ego, and the importance of long-term recovery programs helped him achieve sobriety after years of relapse. He also emphasizes the value of a strong support network, both professional and personal, and the role of daily self-care in maintaining sobriety. Through his own transformation, AJ offers hope to those who feel like recovery may never be possible, reminding listeners that sometimes, it takes multiple attempts and the right moment for real change to occur.
AJ’s story is a testament to resilience, the ongoing effort required for lasting sobriety, and the power of community support. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about the road to recovery, the importance of giving back, and the belief that recovery is possible no matter how many times you’ve tried before.
