Desmond T. from New York, NY at North East Texas Area Fall Convention - September 21st 2002

Visit our website - Sober-Sunrise.com

Desmond hid behind white shirts, ties, and miniature bottles—until the love of AA finally broke through his defenses. Despite early slips and arrogance, he kept coming back, drawn to the honesty and realness of the people, who welcomed him, carried him past bars, and showed him what surrender looked like. Over time, he discovered the power of meditation, the truth of powerlessness, and the daily reprieve found in service. From near death with bleeding ulcers to serving as a Grapevine trustee and later its leader, his life transformed from self-will and denial into one of humility, connection, and love. He closed by affirming that AA gave him not just sobriety, but the ability to live with presence, intention, and a heart open to God’s will and to others.

Music: Deep by KaizanBlu
