Dave P. from Elkton, MD speaking at Barnegat Saturday night speakers meeting in Barnegat, NJ - August 1st 2009 Visit our merch and help support the channel🧡 Sober Sunrise Merch Visit our website - Sober-Sunrise.com Dave shares a gripping firsthand account of repeated relapses, devastating consequences, and ultimate freedom through fully surrendering to the Big Book program as written, explaining with urgency and clarity what it means to be a “real alcoholic” who has lost the power of choice; drawing from prison, addiction, physical catastrophe, and spiritual awakening, Dave highlights how half-measures, watered-down programs, and intellectual debate nearly cost him his life, while rigorous step work, sponsorship, and service to others restored dignity, purpose, and peace—demonstrating how true recovery averts misery and death and leads to a life guided by God rather than self-will.
