Tara R. from Sedona, AZ speaking at the Connect the Dots group in Las Vegas, NV - November 19th 2012

Visit our website - Sober-Sunrise.com

Tara shares a powerful arc from early bullying and self-loathing to a first drink at 12 that “saved” her life but led to years of chaos, two marriages, and profound shame—then a turning point after her husband’s death when, despite 19 years dry, desperation nearly took her back out. Guided through the Big Book line-by-line, she experienced a true Third Step surrender, did fearless inventory and amends (including a life-freeing reconciliation with the woman from her first marriage), and discovered that the real problem was in her mind and the real solution was a daily relationship with God and service. Her key accomplishments include maintaining sobriety since August 24, 1986, transforming grief and jealousy into spiritual growth, becoming a devoted mother who made living amends, and sponsoring others with urgency and love. Life-importance takeaway: half measures are torture—when she stopped settling for “crumbs” and worked the Steps as written, she found the banquet of a useful, joyful life centered on God, community, and helping newcomers.

Music: Deep by KaizanBlu
