Finish What You Started: Randy T. 26 Year’s Sober

He took his last drink at a Greyhound station in L.A.—He now wakes up grateful instead of hungover.

🎙️ In this gripping episode of The Cup of Joe Show, we sit down with Randy T., a man who went from blackouts at 14 to 26 years of unwavering sobriety. Randy took his last drink at a Greyhound bus station in Los Angeles in 1999—in what followed a progressive story of pain, redemption, and spiritual transformation.

Born into a strict California household, Randy was kicked out at 18 because of his drinking and entered a cycle of alcohol-fueled chaos—jobs lost under the cover of night, a toxic relationship with another alcoholic, and a life-altering arrest in Florida.

Years of solitude in a trailer nearly ended him—until a quiet act of surrender led him to get into treatment where a chance meeting with the legendary Dr. Paul O. (whose story appears in the AA Big Book) shifted the entire course of Randy’s life with just one question: “Why don’t you finish what you started?”

Today, Randy lives in East Tennessee, where he continues to carry the message of hope and healing. His story is one of divine timing, second chances, and the power of showing up. Listen now and be reminded: it’s never too late to start over.
