About this episode

Corby M. shares his journey of relapse and recovery from alcoholism, emphasizing the importance of accountability and support in the process.

Corby’s story is one of pain, relapse, survival, and redemption—an honest reminder that alcoholism can reemerge even after meaningful time in recovery. After entering AA in 2017, Corby later faced a devastating relapse when prescribed pain medication for severe back problems gradually led him back to alcohol. What followed was a difficult journey through addiction, treatment, and ultimately a return to the Fellowship. But this episode is not primarily about falling—it’s about getting back up. Corby shares how accountability, sponsorship, service, and fully engaging in the Program of Alcoholics Anonymous helped him reclaim his sobriety and discover a renewed purpose in helping others. We’re deeply grateful for the worldwide AA Recovery Interviews family. Every episode carries hope to alcoholics, families, and friends seeking answers. If you or someone you love is struggling, Corby’s experience offers a powerful reminder that recovery—and a new way of life—is possible, one day at a time.
