John L's Rollercoaster Ride: From Chaos to Laughter in Sobriety

My wife, who is much smarter than I, says that she believes that life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you react to it.
Ever wondered how someone can turn a life of chaos into one filled with laughter and hope? John L from Hollywood, California, does just that in this episode of Sober Cast. Recorded at the Sanctuary Meeting in Manhattan Beach in 1996, John takes listeners on a wild ride through his turbulent journey to sobriety.
From his first sip of alcohol at age 12 to the dark days of blackout drinking and near-death experiences, John’s story is as riveting as it is inspiring. But it’s not all doom and gloom; John’s knack for humor shines through even the darkest moments. He shares hilarious anecdotes about his run-ins with the law and his time in Vietnam, making you laugh while reflecting on the gravity of addiction.
Through it all, John emphasizes the pivotal role Alcoholics Anonymous played in his recovery, underscoring the importance of honesty, humility, and living in the present. His message is clear: no matter how far down you’ve gone, recovery is possible, and sometimes, a good laugh can be the best medicine. Tune in to hear John L's unforgettable tale on Sober Cast, where stories of hope and redemption are shared with wit and wisdom.
