For the longest time as a drunk, I went to extra lengths to try to look or act macho. And I didn't lose that until I got into Alcoholics Anonymous and found out it was okay just to be who I am.

Steve C. takes the stage at the 38th annual Michiana Conference with his raw and honest account of his journey through alcoholism and recovery. With a mix of humour and heartfelt moments, Steve shares his life story, from his early struggles with alcohol to finding solace in AA meetings. His anecdotes, like the one about mistakenly drinking whiskey instead of Coke, highlight the chaotic life he led before sobriety.

Steve's reflections on his family relationships, particularly with his father, paint a vivid picture of the impact alcoholism had on his life. He also talks about his military service and how it intertwined with his addiction. The episode is filled with moments of laughter, like his joke about Bill and Hillary Clinton, but also deep introspection about the challenges of staying sober. Steve's journey is a testament to the power of AA and the support system it provides.

His story is not just about overcoming addiction but also about finding a loving and compassionate God, which he credits for his transformation. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and understanding of the complexities of addiction and recovery.
