Imagine hitting rock bottom and finding the strength to rebuild your life from the ground up. That's the incredible story of Chris L., who shares his journey in this episode of 'AA Recovery Interviews'. Raised by loving parents, Chris experienced a profound spiritual connection at a young age, only to have it shattered by the tragic death of his sister when he was just nine.
This loss sent him spiraling into alcoholism, which took hold during his teenage years and followed him into adulthood. Despite finding solace in music and achieving success as a musician, Chris couldn't escape the grip of his addiction.

This moment marked the beginning of his recovery journey. Embracing the principles and fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous, Chris found a new purpose and has remained sober for 12 years. His story is one of resilience, transformation, and the unwavering support of the AA community.
