    Caitlin- Young People in AA- Sobriety, Steps, Service, Recovery

    Welcome back to the podcast. Today, we’re excited to introduce Caitlin from Connecticut Young People in AA. Caitlin’s story is one of resilience, transformation, and hope. She opens up about experiencing alcoholism at a very young age, cycling in and out of treatment centers, and ultimately reaching a turning point where enough was enough. That moment led her to take action—getting a sponsor, working the Twelve Steps, and diving into service through young people’s conferences in AA. Her journey doesn’t stop there. Katlyn shares how recovery gave her a new life—returning to college, building a career, becoming a mother of three, and growing into a partner in a marriage rooted in shared recovery and purpose. This is a powerful conversation about hitting bottom, finding a way up, and living a life filled with meaning, connection, and hope.

    Young People, Service, and Sobriety: NECYPAA in Action

    On this episode, we sit down with three members of the Northeast Convention of Young People in Alcoholics Anonymous (NECYPAA): Meadow, Caitlin, and Issa. Each of them comes to the table with a different length of sobriety and a unique experience with alcoholism and recovery, offering a powerful cross-section of what it looks like to grow in AA. They’ll share honestly about what life was like before they got sober, what changed, and how they stay connected to the program today. Together, they explore how service to NECYPAA has become a vital part of their recovery—talking about the fellowship, responsibility, and spiritual growth that come from working on a convention committee. In the conversation, you’ll hear how staying involved with NECYPAA has helped them build community, deepen their understanding of the Twelve Steps, and find purpose beyond just “not drinking.” They reflect on the challenges of young people’s recovery, the importance of showing up for others, and how committee work has given them opportunities to grow as trusted servants. Whether you’re new to AA, curious about young people’s conventions, or a longtime member looking for fresh inspiration, Meadow, Caitlin, and Issa’s experience, strength, and hope offer a relatable and encouraging look at recovery in action. Tune in to hear how being part of NECYPAA continues to support their sobriety and enrich their lives one day at a time.

    Charlie- fear-relapse-steps-sobriety-giving it away!

    Today on the podcast, we welcomed Charlie and heard an incredible story of resilience, struggle, and hope. Charlie shared how his journey with alcohol began at just 14, chasing the feeling it gave him, and how life took unexpected turns—including becoming legally blind at 17 while still pushing forward to start multiple businesses. His path hasn’t been linear. Through relapses and hard lessons, Charlie found a turning point by fully embracing the program—getting a sponsor, working the steps, and giving back to others in recovery. This episode is a powerful reminder that sobriety isn’t a straight line, but through AA and connection, it can become a stepping stone to real happiness.
