A Shot Glass of Recovery

Ken c the nomad


Listen Later

Hey — pull up a chair. In this episode Ken gives a raw, unfiltered walk-through of his life before and after Alcoholics Anonymous: the first time the alcohol hooked him, the spiraling years of arrests and rehabs, and the wake-up moment in a jail cell that changed everything. He’s honest about relapses, spiritual routines that faded when he started traveling, and the pressure of being a recovered ‘example’ who still struggles.

Ken shares how AA helped him rebuild relationships with his mom and sister, the power of sponsorship and service, and how carrying the message has taken him from local home groups to organizing big conferences. He’s refreshingly candid about the seasons when sobriety felt like survival rather than joy — and how that’s okay. Whether you’re new, seasoned, or just curious, this conversation is full of humanity, hope, and practical insight for staying connected to a Higher Power and to each other.

Stick around for stories about international meetings, the awkwardness of Zoom fellowship, and why community — not perfection — is what keeps recovery alive. If this resonates, subscribe, leave a review, and consider supporting the show.
