Sober 16 years since 2/15/1975, Jo Jo came in used up at 23 years old.
She turned her first trick at 11 years old.
She was still turning $5 and $10 tricks for her first few months sober, and the members of her home group knew it, but they just said, "Keep coming back."
She has had many bad days in AA but has not found it necessary to drink since her first meeting.
