People ask me why I pick up trash today, and this is my standard answer is: I was supposed to be in prison for years. I was like I've been out doing good, trying to do good for almost nine.
Picture this: you're in Joshua Tree, ready to tackle a half marathon, and you meet someone who cuts through the noise with a simple, humorous comment. That's how the conversation between John and Colin S began on 'A is for Alcoholic'. Colin's story is anything but ordinary. Growing up in a chaotic environment, he turned to drugs and alcohol as an escape. His journey through addiction led him to hit rock bottom more times than he can count.
But Colin’s turning point came not from a grand epiphany, but from the simple act of picking up trash and serving his community. In this candid episode, Colin doesn't hold back. He talks about his experiences with AA, why he left the program, and the ongoing battle with his character defects. He emphasizes acceptance and the importance of not judging others, sharing hard-earned wisdom from his own struggles.
This episode is a raw and honest look at recovery, offering hope and practical advice for anyone grappling with addiction. Tune in to hear Colin's unfiltered truth and find out how community service became his path to sobriety.
