Jonathan shared a remarkable story of redemption, describing how years of failed attempts at sobriety finally gave way to true recovery when he surrendered fully to the Big Book’s program and God’s direction. After multiple treatments, the loss of his veterinary license, family, home, and self-respect, he entered a recovery center in Austin in 2008 and discovered that his problem was not alcohol itself but a lack of power. Working the 12 Steps honestly transformed his life—restoring his family, career, and serenity. He learned that recovery is not about avoiding a drink one day at a time but about living a spiritual way of life that removes the need for alcohol altogether. Today, Jonathan lives with humility and gratitude, serving others through sponsorship and teaching, his story proving that from complete collapse can come a life of purpose, peace, and grace.
