Join Red A., an engaging AA speaker from San Diego, as he shares his heartfelt journey through alcoholism and recovery in this episode of Recovery Radio Network. With a mix of humour and raw honesty, Red recounts his experiences with alcohol, starting from his early days in the military to his battles with addiction. He speaks candidly about the physical and mental toll of alcoholism, comparing it to a terminal disease that affects both body and mind.

His vivid anecdotes—like breaking out in spots like 'Acapulco and Las Vegas'—bring a light-hearted touch to serious reflections on addiction. Red also delves into the importance of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous and how it has been a cornerstone in his 25 years of sobriety.
