From Black Sheep to Best Friend: AA Speaker - Mike C. - Lemon Grove, CA

from Sober Sunrise - AA Speaker Podcast · host Sober Sunrise

Mike C. from Escondido, CA speaking at the "Easy Does It Group" in Lemon Grove, CA - April 15th 2005 Visit our website - Sober-Sunrise.com After years of chasing differences, hiding emotions, and trying to fix life on his own terms, he hit a bottom in sobriety—sitting under a meeting-room clock, weeping uncontrollably, convinced sobriety wasn’t working. That day, a man’s simple message of hope—“You can get better”—sparked a transformation that began with a phone call and a willingness to take direction. Through years of rigorous honesty, step work, and surrender, Mike rebuilt his life, restored his family, and found the deeper freedom beyond mere relief. With humor and conviction, he reminded listeners that the real gift of AA isn’t just not drinking—it’s permanent sobriety and a “contented life,” earned through humility, amends, and faith in a loving God. Music: Deep by KaizanBlu
