Karl M. from speaking at the Brentwood Beginners Workshop in Los Angeles, CA - August 6th 2015
Visit our website - Sober-Sunrise.com
Carl shares a powerful, heartfelt, and often hilarious account of over three decades of sobriety, reflecting on a life transformed by the program of Alcoholics Anonymous. Sober since January 21, 1987, Carl emphasizes that his alcoholism is the defining force that shaped every major turn in his life—before and after recovery. He vividly explains the physical craving and mental obsession that make up his illness, and how those two forces kept him trapped until the fellowship and spiritual path of AA offered freedom. From drinking on Antabuse in desperation to being lovingly sponsored and guided by pillars of AA, Carl’s life evolved from chaos and near ruin to one rooted in service, fatherhood, and deep gratitude. Today, he runs recovery houses, stays grounded by working with newcomers, and continues to learn from his character defects. Through it all, he remains clear: the solution lies in connection, humility, and staying in the center of Alcoholics Anonymous—where he has found meaning, love, and the true “music of life.”
