Matt J. joined the show this week. Matt was confused for years about giving up alcohol because he never hit what some may call rock bottom, but deep down, Matt knew something had to change. Matt describes his childhood as terrible, and alcohol would help him fit in during social situations. Everything began to change when Matt attended his first AA meeting, raised his hand, and said, I am an alcoholic. Matt has not had a drink of alcohol in nine years, and this is Matt’s story on the sober motivation podcast. ------- Follow Matt J on Instagram here Follow Sobermotivation on Instagram here Check out SoberBuddy App Check out Soberlink Donate here to support the podcast Sober Motivation App on Apple App Store HERE Sober Motivation App on Google Play Store HERE Sober Motivation Website: https://www.sobermotivation.com Support the Podcast: https://buymeacoffee.com/sobermotivation Contact me anytime: brad@sobermotivation.com Hosted on Acast.
