Rick W. from Oxnard, CA speaking at the Old Town speakers meeting in La Jolla, CA - Oct 2010

Visit our website - Sober-Sunrise.com

Rick W. from Oxnard shares a humorous, raw, and deeply grateful account of a life transformed by Alcoholics Anonymous: after early trauma, chaotic drinking, DUIs, accidents, and a low point at Camarillo State Hospital (lured first by coffee, cookies, and H&I Marlboros), he discovered AA, recognized his alcoholism, and—sober since July 1977—built a daily practice of meetings, service (from “best chair-putta-boy” to sponsor), and the Twelve Steps. He stresses what matters most: that AA works when we admit powerlessness, make a decision, do inventory, make amends, and keep helping others—turning pain into purpose, loneliness into fellowship, and fear into faith. His key accomplishments are enduring long-term sobriety, relentless meeting attendance, concrete service to his home group, rigorous step work, and active sponsorship—proof that a life once ruled by alcohol can become a life of dignity, usefulness, and spiritual growth.
