Imagine reaching the age of 94 with 44 years of sobriety under your belt. That's Bud S.'s incredible story, shared in this episode of AA Recovery Interviews.

Bud's journey is a testament to the transformative power of AA and serves as an inspiring beacon for anyone struggling with alcoholism. Tune in to hear how Bud's attitude towards life and gratitude has shaped his long and illustrious sobriety.
