Rick W. from Oxnard, CA speaking at the Youngs Peoples group San Diego, CA - June 6th 2006


Visit our website - Sober-Sunrise.com


Rick W., sober since 1977, delivers a no-nonsense, hilarious, and action-oriented take on the 12 Steps, recounting his journey from entering a mental institution to get certified "paranoid schizophrenic" to becoming a passionate recovery advocate. He shares raw stories of his drinking, including filling his car with vomit and Boone's Farm wine, to illustrate that alcoholism is an obsession of the mind that nothing can overcome but immediate action. Rick rejects slow step studies, challenging newcomers to "Do It This Weekend," asserting that the Steps don't need to be perfect, they just need to be done to the best of one's ability. This talk emphasizes the urgency of spiritual work and the fundamental principle that "It doesn't take much of a man or a woman to make it in Alcoholics Anonymous, but it does take them all."
