But wherever the motivation comes from, I don't analyze it. It's just kind of like: hey, this is a chance for me to do God's will, and I and I do it to the best of my ability, and it's I mean it's obvious to me that I've been changed.
David G's journey from carefree beach days to the depths of addiction and back again is nothing short of remarkable. Growing up in Southern California with semi-hippy parents, David's early life was all about freedom, love, and peace. But as a teenager, he found himself more drawn to drugs and alcohol than to school or any other pursuits.
This led to his first attempt at sobriety in 1989, which lasted five years before he relapsed into a 13-year struggle with addiction. In March 2008, a desperate David decided it was time for a change. He reached out to the AA community, dusted off his old Big Book, and committed himself fully to the program. His story is a testament to the power of saying 'yes' to recovery.
With the support of AA fellowship, David rediscovered his passions for music and motorcycles and mended broken relationships with his family. David's candid recounting of his highs and lows offers a raw and inspiring look at the transformative power of sobriety. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, David's story is a powerful reminder that change is possible, one day at a time.
