Alcoholics Anonymous: Rare Interview With 40-Year Sober Member

As we wrap up our Addiction 101 deep dive, we thought it would be a good time to share this extremely rare and insightful interview with a 70-year old member of AA who goes by the name of “Alan.”

“Alan,” is an alcoholic who turned to Alcoholics Anonymous for help over 40-years ago and has been sober ever since

In this episode, we ask about everything you’ve always wanted to know about AA including:

- Is it really like how the movies/TV shows depict?

- What actually happens at meetings?

- What is a sponsor and why is it an essential part of the program?

- Why is it anonymous?

- Can people be allergic to alcohol?

- And why AA has worked for so many people around the world.
