Dave shares a gripping firsthand account of repeated relapses, devastating consequences, and ultimate freedom through fully surrendering to the Big Book program as written, explaining with urgency and clarity what it means to be a āreal alcoholicā who has lost the power of choice; drawing from prison, addiction, physical catastrophe, and spiritual awakening, Dave highlights how half-measures, watered-down programs, and intellectual debate nearly cost him his life, while rigorous step work, sponsorship, and service to others restored dignity, purpose, and peaceādemonstrating how true recovery averts misery and death and leads to a life guided by God rather than self-will.
Music: Deep by KaizanBlu
