Grapevine Podcast: The Day Hope Arrived [Season 8, Episode 22]

Jeffrey tells Don and Sam about his experience in prison and how he picked up a Grapevine magazine by mistake, and then later the Big Book found him and wouldn’t let go. These publications opened his eyes, and he jumped at the first chance to attend an AA meeting. Jeffrey wrote a story that appears in the June 2025 prison issue of Grapevine. On this episode, Jeffrey relates his drinking story including scary health problems, and humorous anecdotes—like getting kicked out of a hard-core drinking club.
