David P., the former frontman of a pioneering British punk rock band, shares his remarkable journey of sobriety in this episode of AA Recovery Interviews. David’s story is a rollercoaster of highs and lows, fuelled by alcohol and drugs that almost derailed his life.
From the vibrant punk scene of the late '70s to his struggles with addiction, David opens up about the chaos that ensued as he moved from England to California, battling failed relationships and the grip of substance abuse. His turning point came 37 years ago when he found refuge in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), which became the cornerstone of his recovery.
Through AA, David not only rebuilt his life but also dedicated three decades to service work, particularly with the Hospitals and Institutions Committee. This work provided him with spiritual strength, which he later relied on during his fight with lung cancer and other serious health issues. David’s resilience and commitment to AA have made him a beacon of hope for many, showing that even in the darkest times, recovery is possible.
His story is a testament to the power of community and the importance of service in maintaining sobriety. If you're looking for inspiration and proof that change is possible, this episode is a must-listen.
