A shot of whiskey when he was 3, the folk-remedy for a sore throat, was Adam’s first taste of alcohol, but not his last. Though he didn’t start drinking until his teens, his horrible first experience with Tequila just made him want more. That began his odyssey of drinking and substance use that resulted in alcoholism and drug addiction,. A rapid decline into total despair followed until there was nowhere left to turn except to the doors of Alcoholics Anonymous.
As my first guest on the AA Recovery Interviews show, Adam is a man I’ve known in the Program for over 14 years. When I first met Adam, I was immediately impressed with his incredible commitment to sobriety and his extraordinary willingness to do whatever it takes to stay sober and help other alcoholics achieve sobriety. All these years later, Adam’s enthusiasm for and dedication to AA is still unbounded. His is a story of successful and meaningful sobriety attainable through a lot of hard work and time spent in AA.
