Drinking on Antabuse and Still Thinking I Was in Control: AA Speaker - David T. - Hilton Head, SC

David T. shares how losing the power of choice in drink led him to fully rely on the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. David T. from Spartanburg, SC speaking at YANA on Hilton Head Island, SC - May 15th 2004 Visit our merch and help support the channel🧡 Sober Sunrise Merch Visit our website - Sober-Sunrise.com David T. shares a powerful and deeply honest journey from a frightened, insecure young man who found instant relief in alcohol to an alcoholic who discovered he had completely lost the power of choice in drink. Despite scholarships, graduate school, marriage, therapy, Antabuse, counseling, and even sheer willpower, nothing could stop the mental obsession that always led him back to alcohol. His turning point came not from fear of consequences but from a moment of surrender when something inside finally broke, opening him to the possibility of a Higher Power he did not yet believe in. Through sponsorship, a clear understanding of the Big Book, and a willingness to work all Twelve Steps thoroughly — especially Steps Three through Nine — David experienced the removal of the obsession and a transformation that reshaped his relationships with his parents, restored integrity to his life, and grounded him in consistent service. From cleaning clubhouses to carrying meetings into detox centers and helping build a Primary Purpose group centered on the solution, he discovered that real recovery is not about trying harder but about following a clear program of action that replaces self-will with faith, responsibility, and service to others.
