AA Speaker - Steve B. - Paramount, CA - 2001

from Sober Sunrise - AA Speaker Podcast · host Sober Sunrise

Steve B. from Van Nuys, CA speaking at the Paramount speakers group in Paramount, CA - February 4th 2001 Visit our website - Sober-Sunrise.com Steve B. delivers a raw, hilarious, and heartfelt look at sobriety after over two decades of living alcohol-free since May 25, 1979. With self-deprecating humor and brutal honesty, he shares what it was like to come into AA thinking he was God, only to find out the real miracle was being willing to be rebuilt from the inside out. Steve doesn’t glamorize his drinking—he wasn’t the guy waking up in Vegas with stacks of cash and wild stories. He was the guy slowly dying in a chair, crying at game shows, ruled by resentment and fear. Through stories about ego, failed relationships, and an unforgettable 7-Eleven coffee meltdown, Steve reminds us that the real work of sobriety starts after we put down the drink. It's about letting go, owning our part, and showing up—even when we’d rather be watching The Sopranos. He closes with a powerful third step image: when we give our whole life to God, we get it all back—but now, we live it for Him. Music: Deep by KaizanBlu
