Brian P's Transformation: From Bank Robber to AA Mentor

Principles are a little harder to catch right, but principles are a code of conduct.
Imagine turning a life of crime into a journey of redemption and sobriety. In this episode of Sober Cast, Brian P, once a bank robber who spent seven years behind bars, leads an eye-opening workshop. Recorded during the New Freedom Big Book Retreat at the Skycroft Center in May 2013, Brian delves into the heart of Chapter 5 from the Big Book, tackling the root cause of many troubles: selfishness and self-centeredness.
Brian’s story is not just about his past crimes but about his transformation and the wisdom he gained along the way. He opens up about overcoming fear, learning to trust in a higher power, and building genuine relationships. His candidness about his struggles with forgiveness and letting go provides a raw and relatable perspective for anyone on the path to recovery.
Throughout the workshop, Brian shares practical advice on writing inventory and mastering the steps, which he views as a code of conduct for a peaceful life. His journey is a testament to the power of change and the impact of the AA principles. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone seeking guidance on their sobriety journey. Whether you’re new to recovery or have been on this path for years, Brian’s experiences offer valuable lessons and inspiration.
