Blindfolded by Alcoholism | John S.

CROSSTALK PODCASTS

Meet Big John—a former football star, loving husband, and father—who seemed to have it all but was silently losing a generational battle with alcohol. In this powerful episode, John shares his raw and honest journey from secret binges to spiritual breakthroughs.

John grew up in a home where alcohol quietly haunted every corner. Despite early success in sports and business, his drinking spiraled—straining his marriage, endangering his son’s future, and ultimately leading to a heartbreaking ultimatum from his wife. Alone and ashamed, John walked into his first AA meeting in October 1990, not knowing it would change his life forever. Today, John lives a life of service and sobriety. With over three decades of continuous recovery, he honors the men who helped him heal, the fellowship that gave him purpose, and the power greater than himself that continues to guide him. His story is a testament to grace, grit, and the incredible power of connection.

Whether you're in recovery, questioning your relationship with alcohol, or love someone who’s struggling, Big John's story will move you deeply. Tune in for hope, wisdom, and the reminder that it’s never too late to change.
