• AA Speaker - Dave A. - Lake Jackson, TX - 2009

  "Blind" Dave A. speaking at the 14th Annual Mouth of the Brazos Conference in Lake Jackson, TX - May 15th 2009 Visit our website - Sober-Sunrise.com After decades of alcoholism, relapse, and failed attempts to quit on faith alone, Dave finally surrendered to Alcoholics Anonymous in 1998 and discovered that God could reach him through the fellowship and the Big Book. He described powerful spiritual experiences, including a fifth step that lifted a lifelong burden, moments where God intervened to keep him sober, and even being miraculously freed from a 40-year chewing tobacco addiction. By fully embracing service, meditation, and helping other alcoholics, he found that AA is not just about sobriety but a whole adventurous way of living—one filled with purpose, miracles, and a deep conscious relationship with God.

• AA Speaker - David R. -Raleigh, NC - 2006

  David R. from Atlantic Highlands, NJ speaking on steps 1-12 at the NCCYPAA Young Peoples Conference in Raleigh, NC - September 2nd 2006 Visit our website - Sober-Sunrise.com David shares how he grew up in a broken and violent home, found alcohol at 14, and quickly spiraled into decades of destruction, losing jobs, relationships, and even his health—eventually ending up drinking mouthwash, homeless, and pronounced dead before being revived. His first attempt at AA failed when he coasted without working the steps, but after a relapse he met a sponsor who walked him through the Big Book and the program in depth, leading to a true spiritual awakening. Through completing amends, he reconciled family relationships, found long-lost relatives, and rebuilt his life. Today he works on Wall Street managing a computer department, earned his degree, is pursuing graduate studies, and lives with faith, service, and peace, emphasizing that AA’s promise of recovery comes through action, honesty, and reliance on God.
