Episode 17: AJ's Sobriety Story (Part 1)

  • Summary

  • When it comes to addiction, sometimes it can be very difficult to even notice you have a problem.

    My guest today struggled to come to that very realization before finally becoming sober one year and three months ago.


    AJ Mayer is a 25 year old carpenter and a fellow Hunterdon County native. Growing up in a drinking household, AJ was first introduced to alcohol at a very young age. Following his parents divorce, AJ began down a self-destructive path and hit rock bottom when he was hospitalized over a year ago.
