He talks about the moment when a gun threat and his daughter’s fear gave him a sudden glimpse of what his life had become, the prayer that followed, and the people in Alcoholics Anonymous who took him in, sponsored him, worked the Steps with him, and showed him how to live. This AA speaker tape is funny, intense, and full of gratitude, moving from desperation and self-destruction into a recovered life of service, family, work, travel, prayer, and real joy. Perry’s message is clear: the program of Alcoholics Anonymous gave him a life beyond anything he could have imagined, and the best years are still ahead. Perry W. from San Jose, CA speaking at the Saturday Night Live, San Jose, CA - October 14th 2005 Music: Deep by KaizanBlu
