🌴 Sober Sunrise Newsletter Weekly AA speaker picks, recovery reflections, and updates: https://sober-sunrise.com/newsletter

Bud tells an old-school AA story that begins with the early days of Southern California meetings, the Hole in the Ground group, and a rough crowd of sober men who carried the message without much polish. When he came in on March 10, 1953, he had just gotten out of jail, owed more money than he could picture repaying, and had burned through family, work, and trust. In this AA talk, Bud shares how the book, sponsorship, amends, steady work, and one day at a time turned his life around, from making restitution and rebuilding family relationships to helping start a sober living house and later seeing one of those men still sober decades later.
