## Resource

Charlie loved AA from the start, but eventually learned that meetings, friends, and fellowship could not replace the spiritual experience the book was pointing him toward. We just launched our new Episodes page — search hundreds of AA speaker meetings by topic, speaker, or step ☀️ Sober Sunrise Episode Archive Check out our lighthearted sober t-shirts and help support the channel🧡 Sober Sunrise Merch Want to receive all the speakers from the last week + some fun other AA happenings? Join the Sober Sunrise Newsletter! Weekly Newsletter Charlie shares with humor and Big Book conviction about getting sober, drifting on fellowship alone, and later realizing that outwardly looking fine was not the same as staying spiritually fit. He talks about sponsorship, working the steps from the book, getting honest about what was blocking him, and finding new life in carrying the message to other alcoholics.
