Judge Don G's Path to Sobriety: Reflections from an AA Convention

People will say: how do you really stop drinking? Those steps really are so simple, so self-operative, so clear and direct that you could not possibly become confused concerning them unless you went to a step study meeting, except that, except that conducted by Joe and Charlie Howard.
Picture this: It's 1983, and you're at the Hot Springs Arkansas State Convention. The room is buzzing with anticipation as Judge Don G from Los Angeles steps up to the podium. In this episode of Sober Cast, Judge Don G takes you on a heartfelt journey through his struggles with alcoholism and his path to recovery. He doesn't hold back, sharing candidly about how alcohol affected his life, including his career as a judge.
His story isn't just about stopping drinking; it's about embracing a new way of living through the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Judge Don G emphasizes the importance of honesty and the 12 Steps of AA, revealing how these elements were crucial in his recovery. He also highlights the magic that happens in AA speaker meetings, where shared experiences foster a sense of community and support.

If you or someone you know is grappling with alcoholism, this episode is a beacon of hope.
