Charlie L's Journey: 33 Years of Sobriety and Wisdom
“For god's sake, get your job, straighten up and fly right. Yeah, I'm one, there's no doubt about it... You have endured hours without a drink of any kind, and that makes you a member of alcoholics anonymous as much as anybody.”

In this episode of Sober Cast, Charlie shares his incredible 33-year journey of sobriety.
