In this raw and deeply reflective AA speaker talk, David shares his journey from early alcoholism marked by fear, violence, failed self-help solutions, and repeated attempts to quit on willpower alone, to lasting sobriety that began on March 9, 1992. He describes hitting a point of complete surrender—when every solution had failed—and how willingness, not belief, opened the door to a Higher Power, the 12 Steps, and a life rebuilt through service, integrity, and consistency. Today, David’s recovery is defined not by the absence of pain, but by the ability to face life with dignity, faith, and connection, while carrying the message to newcomers, detoxes, and prisons one day at a time.
