In today’s episode of Sober Readings, I read the first five powerful stories from the AA book Came To Believe. These early accounts explore the many different paths people take to find a Higher Power and experience spiritual awakening in sobriety.

From moments of desperation to quiet realizations, these stories highlight the diversity of belief, the role of surrender, and how faith (or a new understanding of a Power greater than ourselves) shows up in recovery.

If you’re working the Steps, newly sober, or just curious about how others found their spiritual footing, this episode is for you.

I’m looking for guest readers to join me for the Came To Believe readings on Sundays! If you’re sober and would like to read a story (or a few) on the podcast, reach out to me — I’d love to have you on. Whether you’re a longtime AA member or newer in recovery, your voice is welcome.

Drop me a message, comment below, or send a DM if you’re interested in being a guest reader.

Thanks for listening, and keep coming back!

In this episode of Sober Readings, I read Step 4 from Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions—a step that asks us to take a fearless and honest look at ourselves. This is where things start to get real. It’s about reflection, accountability, and beginning to understand the patterns that have shaped our lives.

Whether you’re new to recovery or revisiting the steps, this reading offers a chance to slow down and sit with what Step 4 really means—without judgment, just awareness.

If this episode resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you. And if you’re interested in being part of the next one, I’m looking for a guest reader to join me for Step 5 next month. Reach out if you want to be part of it.
