How Aaron went from self-destruction to building up himself and others in an incredible way.

I met Aaron Sorrels, The Unemployed Alcoholic, at a comedy show in Grand Rapids and he really stole the show that day. It is such a pleasure to have him on the show to share his incredible story of battling through substance abuse, identity crisis, depression, and anxiety. You will be so inspired by how he turned around his life from such a dark place to find his higher calling to help others recover, heal and find hope. Aaron shares his story growing up in a Christian home, being an alcoholic from early on and dealing with bullying and how all of this came together to make him who he is today. He never pictured himself being a comedian but he explains how unemployment and observing his journey through the mixture of blessings and issues in his life brought comedy into his life. Whether you have dealt with substance abuse yourself or are feeling beaten down by unemployment, I know you will find inspiration and hope in Aaron’s story!

A couple weeks of unemployment turned into a couple months and then a year of unemployment. That was just a really hard time but it was a good and valuable time. I was able to dig deep into the deep hurts that caused me to turn to alcohol for a numbing purpose.

Recovery is a difficult road to go down but it is so valuable. Some of the things I have gained through going through the 12-step program – I wouldn’t have been able to gain that insight and that wisdom through anything else. I would actually recommend the 12-step recovery program to anybody else.
