Summary
Dick spent his life looking for the power he thought everyone else had, until a broken bottle, a phone booth, and Alcoholics Anonymous showed him where that power actually lived. ☀️ Sober Sunrise Episode ArchiveMore AA speaker tapes and recovery stories:https://sober-sunrise.com/episodes 🧡 Sober Sunrise MerchShirts, mugs, and recovery-inspired gear:https://sober-sunrise.com/merch 🌴 Sober Sunrise NewsletterWeekly AA speaker picks, recovery reflections, and updates:https://sober-sunrise.com/newsletter Dick A. shares a thoughtful, funny, and deeply spiritual AA story about growing up in an honorable military family while feeling like he never fit, confusing the power he was looking for with alcohol from his first drink, and spending years in defiance, arrests, Vietnam, advertising success, job losses, isolation, and spiritual anger until a broken bottle and a desperate call from a phone booth brought him into Alcoholics Anonymous. Through sponsorship, service, home group commitments, the Steps, the Traditions, amends, learning to forgive God, and later walking through cancer with the help of AA members, Dick describes a life transformed from trying to get something for himself into being useful to others, and the miracle of discovering connection with God and people in the fellowship.
