Showing Up to AA Completely Drunk with Ryan Kennedy | The Hopeaholics Podcast

Showing Up to AA Completely Drunk with Ryan Kennedy | The Hopeaholics Podcast #315 In this powerful episode, Ryan Kennedy opens up about his raw journey from the depths of addiction to 16 months of hard-earned sobriety. From hitting true rock bottom—complete with a brutal fall down concrete stairs after a seizure, hiding wine bags under his bed during relapses, terrifying cocaine-induced psychosis where he believed his family was hiding in the house for a week, and the heartbreaking loss of his sister to a fentanyl overdose—to finding hope through rehab, AA meetings, daily acts of service like driving his 90-year-old AA buddy, and even launching his own podcast "Rock Bottom with Ryan," this conversation is packed with honest, relatable stories of struggle, relapse realities ("every relapse is worse than the last"), hallucinations (Drake's "Started From the Bottom" looping endlessly on a 30-day bender), and ultimate redemption. Ryan shares how a nun from his childhood school prayed over him in the hospital, how his mom got sober alongside him and now they chair meetings together, and why rehab ultimately saved his life. If you're battling addiction, supporting a loved one, or just need inspiration that rock bottom can lead to real change, this episode is a must-watch. Tune in for unfiltered hope, humor, and proof that recovery is possible—no matter how low things get.
