I've always had a sponsor and my first sponsor, Steve, said, wherever you go, get a sponsor. Wherever you go, get AA. Wherever you go, keep on doing the best you can to come to believe in the power greater than yourself that you can call God.
Duncan's story is a gripping tale of struggle, resilience, and ultimate triumph over alcoholism. Starting with his first drink at the age of 17, Duncan's life spiraled through a series of tumultuous events including multiple marriages, suicide attempts, and even prison time. His candid recounting of these experiences offers a raw and unfiltered look at the harsh realities of addiction. Yet, it is within the walls of Alcoholics Anonymous that Duncan found a lifeline.
Through the unwavering support of sponsors and the structured guidance of the 12-step program, he began to rebuild his life. Now, after 31 years of sobriety, Duncan reflects on his journey with honesty and hope. His story is a powerful reminder that no matter how dark the path may seem, recovery and a brighter future are always within reach.
