About this podcast

Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast

The Boiled Owl

The Boiled Owl is hosted by Don and Sam, both members of Alcoholics Anonymous who like listening to other alcoholics’ experience, strength, and hope. We both do this often via podcasts and speaker tapes (well, CDs and MP3s) while working or driving. While there are many recordings of speaker meetings, we found locating podcasts a bit more difficult. So…… Rather than just complaining about it (you know we did!), we decided to take action. We both attend a Saturday morning men’s AA meeting and go to coffee afterward. Sometimes it’s just the two of us, though often it’s several more. The conversation there is always wide-ranging and invariably full of recovery. The Boiled Owl is our attempt to recreate the environment of the coffee shop meeting-after-the-meeting. Since it’s not completely ad-hoc, we have to structure it a bit, but soon the flow of conversation takes hold and it then goes where it goes. We start with a little banter, introduce our guest, and then ask them a question about why they’re in AA. This one question kicks off the conversation and we chat for 20-30 minutes. We close the podcast with “Ask the Old-timer,” where a question is posed to Don. For our initial episodes, we made up the question. The goal is for YOU to ask a question! Send us your question via giveahoot@boiledowlaa.org. New episodes are posted on the 1st and 15th of the month.

Jazzy's Journey: Sobriety, Service, and Self-Discovery

“Service work keeps me sober.”

Josh, affectionately known as Jazzy, took a bold step towards sobriety just three days before his 19th birthday. Now, with years of recovery under his belt, Jazzy shares his inspiring story on the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast. His sobriety date, 31st December 2007, marks the beginning of a journey filled with personal growth and dedication to service work. Jazzy emphasizes that helping others has been a cornerstone in maintaining his own sobriety.

He candidly discusses the importance of staying accountable and being truthful to oneself, key elements that have kept him grounded through the years. But it’s not all about sobriety; Jazzy also opens up about the challenges of balancing a professional life while staying true to his recovery path. He touches on the fluidity of sexuality in the recovery process, offering a unique perspective that many might find relatable.

This episode is a reminder that sobriety is not just about abstaining from alcohol but finding purpose and meaning in life. Tune in to hear Jazzy’s compelling story and discover how service work can be a powerful tool in your own recovery journey.
