Chuck C., born in 1902, shares his experience recovering from alcoholism in AA in 1975 recordings at the Pala Mesa Men's Retreat. He discusses transforming from a 'tongue-chewing, babbling idiot drunk' and how these talks turned into the book 'A New Pair Of Glass'. The podcast delves into reflections on fear, seeking help in AA, courage in making amends, and the power of surrender in the recovery journey.
