Imagine hearing stories that resonate deeply with your own struggles. In this episode of Sober Cast, Tony H and Eric C open up about their raw and transformative journeys from the grips of alcoholism to a life of recovery. Tony H, speaking in 1999 just after celebrating his 20th AA birthday, reflects on his lifelong battle with feeling out of place and the insanity that plagued him since childhood.
