Yvonne shares her journey from deep resistance to Alcoholics Anonymous to a profound transformation through surrender, service, and faith. Initially unwilling and skeptical, she followed direction reluctantly, first attending meetings just to regain custody of her daughter.

A pivotal moment came when she prayed for relief from her suffering, experiencing a spiritual awakening that solidified her faith. Through the 12 steps, rigorous honesty, and making amends, she rebuilt her life, finding joy, purpose, and an unshakable connection to God. Now, with decades of sobriety, she remains deeply engaged in AA, passing on the message of hope, humility, and the power of service.

She breaks down Step 3 with humor and honesty, sharing how she struggled to grasp the concept of turning her will and life over to a higher power. Instead of needing to fully understand God, she realizes she only has to make a decision—one that allows her to stop managing every detail of life and begin trusting in something greater. Linda illustrates this shift with real-life moments, from a simple household frustration to a health scare, showing how applying these principles can transform fear into faith. She also unpacks Step 4, guiding listeners through inventory with practical examples, reminding them that it's not about discovering who they are but shedding the false self they've built. Her reflections highlight how the steps don’t just stop at getting sober—they offer a path to real freedom, emotional peace, and a life of spiritual connection. Music: Deep by KaizanBlu…
Rick K. from Edmonton, Alberta speaking at the Edmonton Winter Roundup in Edmonton, Alberta - February 16th 2008 Drop a couple dollars in our virtual basket: Sober-Sunrise.com Rick shares his journey from a chaotic, alcohol-filled upbringing to a life of sobriety, guided by the steps of AA. Drinking was always central—bringing both excitement and destruction. Despite a loving marriage and career as a chef, his drinking spiraled into blackouts, DUIs, and broken trust, ultimately leading to separation from his wife, Joanne. Hitting rock bottom, physically ill and unable to stop, he found himself in AA, initially resistant but eventually embracing the steps. Working with a strong sponsor, Rick took Step 3 seriously, closed the back door to drinking, and found freedom through rigorous Step 4 and 5 work. Making amends, especially with his dying father, brought deep healing. Through AA’s guidance, he rebuilt his marriage, adopted a son, and later, miraculously, welcomed a biological son. A cancer scare tested his faith, but the program’s tools helped him find peace. Now, with decades of sobriety, Rick emphasizes the power of service, fellowship, and working the steps to build a life beyond his wildest dreams. Music: Deep by KaizanBlu…

Through the guidance of AA and the willingness to set aside old ideas, she begins to open up to the possibility of a power greater than herself, setting the stage for the spiritual awakening to come.
