“I’m Afraid I’ll Live” | EPISODE 98 - Andrew

from An All Night Place - Secular AA Hosted by An All Night Place

In this deeply personal and unflinchingly honest share, Andrew reflects on nearly three decades of alcoholism, the chaos it created, and the hard-won clarity he’s found in sobriety. From a traumatic childhood and early exposure to drinking, to years marked by homelessness, addiction, and repeated attempts to get clean, Andrew traces the winding path that eventually brought him to recovery. He speaks candidly about the destructive cycles he lived in, the pain of losing family and friends, and the turning point that finally pushed him to put the drink down for good. With raw vulnerability, he describes the anger that fueled his change, the role mental health played throughout his journey, and the profound gratitude he now carries for the people who helped him stay alive long enough to get sober. This episode is a testament to resilience, community, and the unexpected promise of a life rebuilt. Andrew’s story is heavy, human, and ultimately hopeful — an intimate reminder that recovery is possible, even after years of darkness. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew's next AANP share was in August 2026.
