Joe's Story

In this episode of the 4th D Podcast, hosts Marc C and Jessica M have an honest conversation with Joe S from Lake Tahoe, a member of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), about his journey to sobriety. With a sobriety date of May 21, 2022, Joe opens up about the challenges he faced and the steps that finally led him to commit to recovery.

Jessica talks about the process of becoming comfortable in AA meetings and the role of ego in early recovery. She highlights how important it is to show up authentically and discusses the core AA principle of staying sober while helping others along the way.

Joe shares his admiration for his sponsor, someone who has been a constant source of support during his recovery, especially through his relapses. Together, they reflect on the ongoing challenges of staying sober and the ever-present risk of relapse.

Joe also talks about the loneliness that can come with recovery, especially during big transitions. He touches on the difficulty of breaking old associations between alcohol and having fun, and the impact sobriety has had on his family. He challenges the idea that sobriety is boring, sharing how he's found joy in sober activities like RV travel and attending concerts.

Marc and Jessica also discuss the sense of community Joe found with the "4th Dimensioners" and how physical activity became a key part of his spiritual and personal growth. Joe's story is a reminder of the resilience needed for recovery and the rewards that come with it.

This episode is packed with practical insights for anyone on their recovery journey, offering hope and inspiration through Joe's experiences.
