## Resource

Jan walked into AA court-ordered with spiky hair, told them she wasn't like them, and left — then came back when they were right. We just launched our new Episodes page — search hundreds of AA speaker meetings by topic, speaker, or step ☀️ Sober Sunrise Episode Archive Jan was an egomaniac with an inferiority complex who gave her neighbor F's at age six just to feel powerful and bit a piece out of someone in a blackout rage in high school. She walked into AA, said "I'm court ordered," told the one woman who approached her to get out of her face, and left. When she came back, a sponsor who called her a sorry son of a bitch wouldn't even let her lie about where she ate lunch. He taught her things that aren't in the Big Book — how to show up when you say you will, how to be present, and how to be a mom. Today she teaches theater, has a husband and four kids around the table, and says the spark is brighter now because it's not her own.Jan E. from Lafayette, LA speaking at the 3rd Anniversary of the Big Easy Group in New Orleans, LA - April 1st 2012Music: Deep by KaizanBlu
