From First Beer at 11 to Sobriety: A Journey Through Addiction and Recovery

May 4, 2026 • 31min 13s

Episode description

The speaker recounts drinking Budweiser at age 11, teenage homelessness, a pregnancy that forced a nine‑month break from drinking, and the descent into meth use before attaining lasting sobriety in 1999 through Alcoholics Anonymous. With candid reflections on family, street life, and the support of a sponsor, the story shows how the unbearable became bearable through recovery.
