Paul shares his journey from growing up in Northern Ireland amid drinking culture and conflict, through decades of compulsive alcoholism, seizures, hospitals, and repeated failed attempts to stop, to finally finding lasting sobriety in Alcoholics Anonymous by putting unity, service, and recovery into action; he emphasizes that AA was the last thing he tried and the first thing that ever worked, describing how one alcoholic helping another—following the example of Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob—gave him hope in human form, freedom from self, a new life of purpose, education, family, and peace of mind, and a commitment to stay in the middle of the program so he can help others find what he was freely given.
