I Came to AA With No Underwear - AA Speaker - Joe A. - Louisville, KY

Joe A. shares how alcoholism took him from a promising young life to a roach-infested room on skid row—and how Alcoholics Anonymous gave him a new way to live. Joe A. from Cincinnati, OH speaking at ICYPAA in Louisville, KY - May 24th 2002 Visit our merch and help support the channel🧡 Sober Sunrise Merch Visit our website - Sober-Sunrise.com Joe A. tells a powerful and often humorous story of how alcoholism slowly unraveled a life that once showed enormous promise. As a young man he was an Eagle Scout with a college opportunity ahead of him, but drinking and drugs gradually scrambled his judgment, destroyed relationships, and left him living in a filthy skid-row room with nothing but a mattress on the floor. When he finally walked into Alcoholics Anonymous at twenty-two years old, he didn’t understand what alcoholism really was or why he couldn’t stop drinking once he started. Through the guidance of a sponsor, honest work through the Twelve Steps, and a growing commitment to service, Joe began to experience the spiritual change the Big Book promises. Over time the obsession to drink was replaced with purpose, responsibility, and gratitude—allowing him to build a stable life with a family, meaningful work, and decades of sobriety. His message reminds us that AA doesn’t just stop the drinking; it teaches alcoholics how to live, grow, and find happiness right where they are on the side of the mountain. Music: Deep by KaizanBlu
