Johnny Randak: From France to Freedom - A Decade of Sobriety
I didn't realize this until later, but the biggest pain for me in being an alcoholic and drinking so much and taking drugs was this unfulfilled potential.
Babs Gray is back with another episode of 'Babstinence', and this time, she's bringing in Johnny Randak to share his remarkable story. Imagine starting your sobriety journey in France, of all places! Johnny has been sober for ten years, and his journey is filled with ups, downs, and plenty of wisdom. They chat about the role Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) played in his recovery and how finding the right support group can make all the difference.
Johnny's insights into overcoming the fear of attending AA meetings and the importance of connection are both relatable and inspiring. Babs also takes a moment to reflect on her recent trip to New York, touching on how growing up can sometimes feel like a drag. She shares her own struggles with past trauma and how meditation and mindfulness have become her go-to tools for managing a busy mind.
And just when you think the episode couldn't get any better, it wraps up with a snippet from the beloved sober, gay, comedic icon Leslie Jordan. This episode is a blend of humor, heartfelt moments, and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone on their own sobriety journey or supporting someone who is.
