I Sent the Devil Into My Son's Room and Didn't Remember Any of It - AA Speaker - Chris L.
Podcast: Sober Sunrise - AA Speaker PodcastPublished On: Mon Mar 23 2026
Description: Chris L. spent four years sober in AA without taking the steps and almost died of untreated alcoholism — then a phone call, a big book, and three other desperate women changed everything. We just launched our new Episodes page — search hundreds of AA speaker meetings by topic, speaker, or step ☀️ Sober-Sunrise.com Chris grew up with a mind that told her she was never enough and always too much, found alcohol at 14 and chased three minutes of bliss for the next 20 years through blackouts, broken bones, psych wards, and a string of marriages. At her worst she was hallucinating, questioning her four-year-old son each morning about what she'd done the night before, and choosing the bottle over feeding him. She got sober but spent four years white-knuckling it on fellowship alone until her mother died of the DTs and Chris hit bottom on her bedroom floor at four and a half years without a drink. Four women opened the Big Book to page one and started doing what it said — three of them are still sober. Today her teenage son asks the drunks to pray for his friends because he grew up watching his mom love strangers in her fellowship. Chris L. from Coshocton, OH speaking at the 19th Hiawathaland Get-Together - October 2007 Music: Deep by KaizanBlu
