Paul F. from Phoenix, AZ speaking at the North Scottsdale speaker meeting in Scottsdale, AZ - July 9th 2005
Visit our website - Sober-Sunrise.com
Paul shares his transformation from a violent, hopeless addict facing 25 years in prison to a grateful man of faith and service through Alcoholics Anonymous. Sent to prison at 18 and lost in confusion for over a decade, Paul came to AA convinced it wouldn’t work for him—until a sponsor patiently guided him through the Big Book as a “cookbook,” showing him that recovery wasn’t about understanding but experiencing the Steps. Through surrender, fearless honesty, and action, he found freedom from obsession, made amends to those he’d harmed—including walking into a Taco Bell he once robbed—and discovered a loving God far removed from the punishing one of his youth. His talk blended hard-earned wisdom and humor, teaching that love is a discipline, sobriety is a responsibility, and service is the heartbeat of AA. With humility and gratitude, Paul stood as living proof that even the most broken life can be rebuilt into one of peace, purpose, and joy through God’s grace and the Twelve Steps.
