from Sober Sunrise - AA Speaker Podcast · host Sober Sunrise
D.J. got busted with two felonies in a parking lot while lecturing his wife — court-ordered into AA, a no-nonsense sponsor and a moment in a 7-Eleven changed everything. We just launched our new Episodes page — search hundreds of AA speaker meetings by topic, speaker, or step ☀️ Sober-Sunrise.com DJ grew up crawling out of his skin, moved from upstate New York to South Texas at 13, and found alcohol the first night out at a reservoir. It worked so well he never stopped — through 20 years of whiskey, meth, a rock and roll career, and a marriage he wrecked one broken promise at a time. He got arrested in an HEB parking lot with two felonies and a seven-year-expired license, still convinced his wife was the problem. Court-ordered into recovery and facing prison, he couldn't make it across town without three beers. A sponsor laid out the symptoms of alcoholism so clearly that DJ finally saw he was a time bomb — and 44 days into working the steps, he walked into a 7-Eleven and felt good in his own skin for the first time in his life without needing to change a thing. On the day he was getting evicted, he chaired a meeting instead of sharing his problems, and a newcomer handed him the exact solution he needed. D.J. S. from Ingram, TX speaking at the Lufkin Group's 56th anniversary in Lufkin, TX - June 4th-5th 2004 Music: Deep by KaizanBlu
