When Willpower Finally Failed Me: AA Speaker - Stephen B. - Provo, UT - 2025

Stephen B. from Los Angeles, CA speaking at the SNL speaker meeting in Provo, UT - August 16th 2025 Visit our merch and help support the channel🧡 Sober Sunrise Merch Visit our website - Sober-Sunrise.com Stephen shares a deeply grounded and hopeful AA story that traces a loving childhood in small-town Louisiana, an early and devastating loss of control once alcohol entered his life, and more than a decade of failed attempts to quit on his own before finally finding lasting sobriety through Alcoholics Anonymous in 1987, where the Big Book, the Steps, sponsorship, and honest connection gave him hope he never believed possible; he describes how AA not only kept him sober but restored relationships, healed family wounds through amends, reshaped his understanding of God into something loving and accessible, and taught him how to live with integrity, humility, and service, allowing him to show up as a trusted friend, a present father, and a steady source of love for his family right up to walking his mother through her final days, which he sees as one of his greatest life accomplishments and a direct result of the spiritual principles of AA—proof, in his words, that Alcoholics Anonymous didn’t just save his life, but gave his life meaning. Music: Deep by KaizanBlu
