Visit our website - Sober-Sunrise.com (http://sober-sunrise.com) Mike reflects on decades of sobriety shaped by painful honesty, repeated failure, and ultimately a lived practice of Steps 10 and 11, where maintaining conscious contact becomes a moment-by-moment discipline rather than a theory; through sponsorship, rigorous self-examination, meditation as “effective thought,” and profound personal loss—including loving deeply and grieving without drinking—Mike describes how surrendering old ideas about God transformed despair into purpose, restored relationships, and allowed him to live with integrity, emotional sobriety, and usefulness, proving that real spiritual growth is measured not by years sober, but by humility, presence, and a life devoted to love and service.
