Speaking before a group of drunks is one of the nicest things in the world because no matter how lousy you are, you out there pulling for me you know.
Charlie B's journey is nothing short of a rollercoaster ride. Hailing from New Orleans, Charlie brings a unique blend of humour and raw honesty to his story of recovery. He shares the highs and lows of his life, from his early days in Dallas to his academic achievements and his eventual struggle with alcoholism.
Charlie's anecdotes, like filling in for a gallbladder in Corpus Christi and his adventures at 'Romp in the Swamp', provide comic relief while also shedding light on the absurdity and pain of addiction. His vivid descriptions of life as an alcoholic, maintaining multiple residences around the world, and the eventual collapse of his health are both harrowing and enlightening. Charlie's turning point comes with his realisation of needing help and the support he found in Alcoholics Anonymous.
His reflections on the kindness and camaraderie within the AA community are touching, and his story is a testament to the power of resilience and support in overcoming addiction. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Charlie's story offers hope, laughter, and a reminder that recovery is possible.
