In this Episode

This was a very 'sober' conversation about Jamie's journey with alcohol addiction.

As the title of this episode states, alcohol was a lifesaver.  I'm guessing that nobody would think that alcohol could save anyone's life.

I think, generally speaking, one would think that its quite the opposite, drinking destroys and can ultimately kill people.

However in this case Jamie goes as far as saying that it did save his life.

'I don't know what would have become of me'.

'When I was 12 years old I found something that could make it possible for me to deal with life'

As I listened to Jamie talk about his story, the thing that struck me the most is that he had to learn to be humble.  He had to learn that perhaps he was not always the smartest person in the room.  "12 step is a severely humbling process".

I asked Jamie to talk about how his view of himself and life changed.

If one thinks that they know it all and are convinced that the 12 step program is not going to work for them, what is it that helps anybody shift their perspective??

He thought that he was different from the people in AA.

Listen to the episode to find out what Jamie says.

Its a wonderful, refreshing conversation, one that truly deserves 30 minutes of your time.
