Facing Fears and Finding Laughter at AA Roundups

Fully self-aware, this is me wanting people to view alcoholics differently than they do, because I feel like I'm lumped into this scumbag category.
Ever felt out of place in a room full of strangers? Jon H sure did when he attended his first AA Roundup, surrounded by over 8,000 members who didn't look, talk, or dress like him. In this episode of 'Character Defects', Jon H and Jon D recount their eye-opening and hilarious experience navigating the AA Roundup scene. Jon H's discomfort is palpable as he grapples with his fear and loathing of the unfamiliar faces and stories around him.
But it's not all awkwardness and anxiety. These two comedians use their wit and humor to break down their own insecurities and poke fun at the stereotypes they encounter. Their journey is a testament to the healing power of laughter, even in the most uncomfortable situations. Whether you're new to recovery or a seasoned veteran, you'll find their candid reflections both relatable and refreshing.
Tune in for a mix of humor, honesty, and valuable insights into overcoming fears and embracing differences in the recovery community.
