AA Speaker - Kelvin D. - Salem, OR - 2007

Kelvin D. from Fargo, ND speaking at the Salem Soberfest in Salem, OR - February 16th 2007 Visit our website - Sober-Sunrise.com Kelvin, from a life ruled by fear, anger, and self-will to one filled with faith, humility, and gratitude through Alcoholics Anonymous. Born with a deep sense of not belonging, he found temporary relief in alcohol, which led to violence, loss, and spiritual emptiness despite outward success and church upbringing. Even after years in AA, his pride and lack of connection to God left him angry and broken until a moment of complete surrender—when his family’s love and his own despair brought him to his knees. Through honest work with a sponsor, deep spiritual awakening, and service to others, Kelvin rebuilt his marriage, became a devoted father, and found real peace. His story is a testament that the true miracle of recovery isn’t just putting down the drink—it’s letting God fill the hole inside and discovering that faith with works brings a life of grace, joy, and purpose.
