In this four-part AA talk, Keith L. shares how he came in from a basement in Washington, D.C., still convinced he could think his way out, and found a program that kept proving him wrong in the best possible way. With sharp humor and a lot of step-by-step experience, he talks about fear, pride, sponsorship, inventory, broken relationships, meetings, service, guilt, and learning that AA is not about managing life better but becoming useful to someone else.

Keith L. from Wilmington, NC speaking at the God's word is priority in St. Bernards Abbey in Cullman, AL - November 1999
