Don M., sober since April 9, 1981, shares his powerful transformation from a life of ego-driven self-obsession, professional success masking deep alcoholism, and repeated hospitalizations to decades of sobriety through divine intervention, following AA’s directions, and taking the 12 Steps as daily action. Growing up in Kentucky and becoming a successful criminal defense lawyer, his drinking and drug use escalated to devastating accidents, homelessness, and 18 stays in “asylums.” A turning point came when desperation pushed him to follow AA’s program despite disbelief, leading to restored relationships—especially with his daughter—and a renewed law career marked by ethics and service awards. His story emphasized that recovery is about consistent action over feelings or beliefs, living one step at a time, and letting God guide while serving others, resulting in a life richer than anything he could have imagined.
