JP M. AA speaker

Jeffrey Millett takes centre stage in this episode of Recovery Radio Network, sharing his journey through the haze of alcoholism and his unexpected path to sobriety. Millett, known for his book 'Days of Wine and Roses', offers a raw and honest account of his drinking days, highlighting the sheer volume of alcohol consumed by millions worldwide.

He paints a vivid picture of his life in Hollywood, where drinking was a norm, and how a chance encounter with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings for research led him to reflect on his own habits. Millett's narrative is both humorous and poignant as he describes seeing an older version of himself in another AA member, which sparked a deep introspection about his future with alcohol.

This episode isn't just for those battling addiction; it's a call to everyone standing on the edge, unaware of the slippery slope they're on. Millett challenges the AA community to extend their reach and educate more about pre-alcoholism, suggesting that early intervention could save many from falling into the depths of addiction. His story is a testament to the power of luck, timing, and the right support system.

If you're looking for a blend of personal anecdotes and broader reflections on alcohol addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
