Growing up in a working-class family, Todd began drinking at 14 and eventually drank himself out of the Navy. His life spiraled into five DWIs across three states, countless arrests, and even a devastating crash after fleeing police. Yet the turning point came when, faced with his wreckage, he finally turned to AA, where the fellowship embraced him and mentors like Red guided him. Todd’s path wasn’t smooth—he relapsed after two years—but in 2006 he recommitted, found a sponsor, worked the steps, and began truly living in recovery. He’s since endured hardship—losing his father, his brother’s tragic death, jail time, bankruptcy—but through it all, he stayed sober by serving his group, sponsoring others, and embracing AA’s principles. His story shows the progression of alcoholism, the power of humility, and the life-saving gift of fellowship and faith.
