In this episode of The Pink House Chronicles, JoeO takes the stage to share his journey through the highs and lows of alcohol and drug addiction. With a refreshing candidness, JoeO recounts his life from a shy, arty kid in an Irish Catholic family to a self-proclaimed 'bohemian' in New York's vibrant underground scene. He reflects on how alcohol became his social glue and the driving force behind many of his wild adventures.
JoeO’s story is not just about the thrill of living on the edge; it's a raw account of chasing a feeling, the electric shock of his first drink, and the escape he sought through substances. JoeO's honesty shines through as he describes the moment he realised he was living the same patterns he'd learned at 13, despite being in his thirties.
His path to sobriety wasn't marked by a dramatic event but rather a gradual understanding that he wanted more from life than sitting at a bar night after night. He shares how the 12 steps of AA helped him find structure and purpose, likening them to a framework for life that anyone can follow. His reflections on sobriety are both humorous and poignant.
JoeO talks about his struggles with daily routines and how he sometimes needs reminders to keep his life from spiralling out of control. His story is a testament to the power of hope and the belief that there’s always something better waiting. With 22 years of sobriety under his belt, JoeO encourages others by sharing that everything good in his life has stemmed from getting sober.
