  • Rudy T. – Sober 27 Years

    Rudy T. – Sober 27 Years
    Apr 8 2026
    This episode is another deeply personal story—one that reflects the courage it takes to face alcoholism head-on and the transformation that becomes possible through recovery. My guest, Rudy T., has been sober for 27 years. What he shares is not just a timeline of events, but a lived experience of what it means to surrender, to grow, and to stay the course over time. It’s also a brilliant example of revealing one’s own higher power, by praying for another. As always, we honor the principle of anonymity. You won’t hear last names, see photographs, or find links tied to our guests. What you will hear is something far more valuable: truth. Unfiltered, experience-based truth that carries the power to reach another alcoholic right where they are. If you’re new, you may hear parts of Rudy’s story that sound familiar—feelings, behaviors, or consequences that resonate in a way that’s hard to ignore. If you’ve been around a while, you may recognize the deeper themes: willingness, honesty, and open-mindedness. These are not just slogans—they are lifelines. They are the essential ingredients that allow recovery to take root and grow. Over the years, I’ve received countless messages from listeners who say this podcast helped them stay sober one more day… or gave them the courage to walk into their first meeting… or reminded them why they chose this path in the first place. With over 500,000 listens across more than 250 episodes, it’s clear that these conversations matter. Lives are being changed. And in some cases, quite possibly saved. But none of that happens without you—the listener—showing up, pressing play, and being willing to hear something new… or something you may not have wanted to hear before. So I invite you to listen closely today. Not just to Rudy’s words, but to what might be underneath them. Look for the similarities, not the differences. Listen for the hope, even if it’s quiet at first. And most of all, stay open to the possibility that what you hear could strengthen your own journey—wherever you may be on the path. This is AA Recovery Interviews. And this is Rudy T.’s story. If you’ve found meaning, hope, or inspiration through my AA Recovery Interviews podcast, I invite you to go even deeper with a truly essential resource for recovery:“Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How More Than One Hundred Men Have Recovered From Alcoholism.” This is a word-for-word, cover-to-cover reading of the First Edition of the Big Book, originally published in 1939—brought vividly to life through careful narration that lets the wisdom, clarity, and power of the text fully land. Listening allows the Big Book to meet you wherever you are: at home, on the road, or in moments when opening the book just isn’t possible. It’s a comfortable, meaningful, and deeply engaging way to enrich your AA program through focused listening.You can listen to a free at Audible, iTunes, or Amazon. I also invite you to explore my latest audiobook,Lost Stories of the Big Book: 30 Original Stories Missing from the 3rd and 4th Editions of Alcoholics Anonymous. Narrated by me, this audiobook restores powerful, long-forgotten personal stories that many AA members have never encountered. These original testimonials were removed to make room for newer stories in later editions—but their messages of surrender, transformation, and hope are just as vital today as when they were first written. For many listeners, this will be the first time hearing these voices speak again—honest, raw, and deeply human. Lost Stories of the Big Book is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. It’s also available as a Kindle book and in Paperback from Amazon for those who wish to read along while listening. Whether you’re newly sober or decades into the journey, these audiobooks are must-have companions—designed to deepen understanding, strengthen connection, and help keep the message alive, one careful listen at a time.

  • Julie R. – Sober 7 Years

    Julie R. – Sober 7 Years
    Mar 26 2026
    Like many I’ve had the privilege to interview, today’s guest, Julie R., took her first drink at 14 and felt immediate relief from fear, sadness, and anxiety at home. Her early binge drinking didn’t stand out much in high school or college, but it quietly laid the groundwork for deeper struggles with alcohol and cocaine. Though she began to suspect alcohol was part of the problem, quitting wasn’t yet on her radar. In a twist, it was her husband who took her to treatment just six months into their unhappy marriage . He insisted that she get well. At rehab, Julie was introduced to Alcoholics Anonymous and the 12 Steps—meetings, sponsorship, the Big Book, and a growing openness to a Higher Power. With sincerity and willingness, she embraced the work and built a strong foundation in sobriety. But as the years passed and life improved, her connection to the program slowly faded. Nearing six years sober, she drifted—and eventually drank again. What followed was a turning point. Julie’s return to sobriety is honest, humbling, and deeply hopeful—a clear reminder that this program works when we work it. I think you’ll find her story both inspiring and encouraging. If you’ve found meaning, hope, or inspiration through my AA Recovery Interviews podcast, I invite you to go even deeper with a truly essential resource for recovery:“Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How More Than One Hundred Men Have Recovered From Alcoholism.” This is a word-for-word, cover-to-cover reading of the First Edition of the Big Book, originally published in 1939—brought vividly to life through careful narration that lets the wisdom, clarity, and power of the text fully land.

  • Craig S. – Sober 4 Years

    Craig S. – Sober 4 Years
    Mar 11 2026
    Craig came to AA later in life, getting sober at 63. For years he appeared to manage his drinking while building a highly successful business and providing a rich lifestyle for his family. But alcoholism is patient—and progressive. As control slipped and cocaine entered the picture, the consequences grew harder to ignore. Anxiety mounted. Relationships suffered. The very abilities that built his success began to erode. In a courageous moment of clarity, Craig walked into an AA meeting and asked for help. He found a strong sponsor, committed himself to the work, and has built nearly five years of solid sobriety. Today, you’ll find him calling other men, working with newcomers, and living the principles that once saved his own life. This is a compelling story of late-in-life surrender, willingness, and transformation. Settle in, listen closely—and let hope do its quiet work. I’m honored to introduce my friend and AA brother, Craig S.

I'm an AlAnon, and get excited that I can get a probing yet caring understanding of AA via this meaty open show. I"ve listened to all the episodes, and they always power my 12 step day.
