Steve B takes the stage in this episode of Recovery Radio Network, sharing his journey through Alcoholics Anonymous with a mix of humour and raw honesty. Steve’s story starts in May 1979 when he took his last drink, not knowing that years later, he’d be speaking to audiences about his recovery. He recounts his early days in AA, driven by a desperate need to stop shaking and throwing up, and how the program helped him find stability and purpose.
