With raw courage, j b goes into places of destitution and hopelessness with the message that the hand of aa is always there for those who reach out for help in the process of giving it away.
Ever wondered how someone can turn a life of crime and addiction into one of service and sobriety? Meet JB B., who at just 12 years old, found himself deep in the world of drugs and crime. His role models were the neighborhood drug dealers, flaunting their wealth and power. Despite becoming a star football player in Northern California, JB couldn't escape the allure of quick cash from dealing drugs.
His lifestyle led to multiple stints in jail and prison, where he first encountered Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). But each time he got out, the streets called him back. It wasn't until his mid-20s, while on probation in Oklahoma, that JB decided to make a lasting change. This episode of 'AA Recovery Interviews' with Howard L. dives into JB's raw and inspiring story of transformation.
From his early days dealing drugs to his time behind bars, JB’s journey is a rollercoaster of highs and lows. Yet, through it all, his resilience shines. Discover how he used his time in prison to condition not just his body but also his mind, preparing for a new life. JB's commitment to AA didn't stop at his own recovery. He became actively involved with the Correctional Facilities Committee, bringing hope to those still incarcerated.
His story is a powerful testament to the transformative power of AA and the importance of giving back. Tune in to hear about the courage it takes to change, the value of community, and why guarding your sobriety is like keeping a treasure in a safe.
