James shares how his life shifted from loneliness, denial, and failed attempts to control drinking into a life of faith, service, and love. He described how, after years of believing he only had a “drinking problem,” he finally admitted he was alcoholic and began working the steps in earnest. His journey included moving from skepticism about God to taking action anyway, finding that willingness brought results. Along the way he found companionship, marriage, and family, learning to replace fault-finding with love and patience. Making amends and practicing gratitude brought healing in relationships, and he grew into service both at home and in the wider community. With decades of sobriety, he reflected on daily action as essential—likening recovery to walking up a down escalator—and shared how gratitude, forgiveness, and continued step work keep him free. Everything good in his life, he said, came from living this program one day at a time.
