Iron Mike shares his experience as an alcoholic, from growing up around Pasadena and Houston, taking his first drink young, going to reform school and prison, living without an address, and cycling through jails, detoxes, relapse, and rough bottoms before finally finding a life in Alcoholics Anonymous. With humor and blunt honesty, he talks about violence, fear, feeling like an outsider, the meetings and old-timers that kept pulling him back, the Wheelhouse, the Legacy Club, sponsorship, working the Steps, and learning how to stay instead of run. This AA speaker tape also carries a powerful message about grace, service, family restoration, and becoming the son, brother, sponsor, and member of AA that he never knew how to be on his own.

"Iron" Mike P. from Baycliff, TX speaking at the South East Texas Area Convention in Beaumont, TX - January 2006
