Richard B. from Susanville, CA takes the stage at the Roseville Saturday Night Speaker Meeting, bringing a powerful message about his journey from the depths of addiction to a life of sobriety. He opens with a humorous note about his attire, setting a light-hearted tone before diving into his story.

This misconception plagued him for years until a conversation with his mother revealed the truth, shaking the very foundation of his regrets. His tale unfolds with raw honesty, recounting years of turmoil, run-ins with the law, and life on the streets. Despite these hardships, Richard found a moment of clarity in a jail cell that led him to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Through AA, he discovered a path to recovery and began to rebuild his life, one step at a time.
He speaks candidly about the challenges of making amends, the importance of the 12 steps, and the transformative power of service. Richard's story is not just about overcoming addiction but also about finding purpose and giving back to others. His journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the healing power of community and faith. If you're looking for an inspiring tale of redemption and hope, this episode is a must-listen.
