I’ll be two years sober in August. AA has hands down saved my life.

For the first year and a half, I never actually had a sponsor. I was still going to meetings daily and had a lot of amazing people in the program helping guide me. At the same time, I was also a first-time dad with a one-month-old son at home, so life was pretty overwhelming in the best and hardest ways.

Then after about a year and a half sober, I met a great guy in AA that I instantly connected with. He honestly reminds me so much of my dad, who passed away five years ago as a direct result of addiction. It truly feels like we were meant to meet, and getting a sponsor has been one of the best things that’s happened to me in recovery.

I was happy before, but having someone I can fully confide in and lean on has made life feel so much more manageable. Between getting a sponsor and starting Zoloft for the first time at 29, I finally feel genuinely content and grateful for life in a way I never thought was possible.

One day at a time 🙏🏼
