Diagnosed by institutions as a sociopath and psychopath, and cloaked in layers of denial, Don initially couldn't see that alcohol was the core problem—but AA members with clarity, compassion, and lived recovery helped guide him through the Twelve Steps. He experienced profound change: from a man afraid of both dying and living, to someone fit for service, able to sponsor others and walk hand-in-hand with God. Don emphasizes that sobriety isn’t for him—it’s for the next sick alcoholic—and he has lived his life carrying that message, healing relationships with his children and brother, and growing through painful challenges. His life exemplifies the AA promise: that through total surrender, rigorous honesty, and spiritual discipline, even the most broken lives can be transformed and used to heal others.
