Randy L.'s journey to sobriety is nothing short of inspiring. In this episode of AA Recovery Interviews, Randy shares his story of battling alcoholism and drug addiction from a young age. Diagnosed with ADHD in his teens, Randy turned to alcohol and marijuana to cope with his hyperactivity and limited attention span.

At just 20 years old, he committed to the AA programme, got a sponsor, and worked the steps diligently.
