🧡New Merch!☀️We finally got around to releasing our collection of light-hearted, recovery-inspired shirts and mugs. It's a fun way to share the message and support the channel! 🧡 Sober Sunrise Merch Paul M. from Oceanside, NY speaking at the 60th Gopher State Roundup in Bloomington, MN - May 25th 2013 Visit our website - Sober-Sunrise.com Paul shares a heartfelt, hilarious, and deeply spiritual talk that traced his journey from chaotic drinking in Northern Ireland and Rockaway Beach to a life filled with purpose, freedom, and service through Alcoholics Anonymous. With humor that disarms and honesty that cuts straight to the heart, he described the pitiful and incomprehensible demoralization of alcoholism—the seizures, blackouts, self-destruction, and the painful truth that he could not stop drinking on his own—contrasted with the miracle he found in AA, where “we drink alone, but we stay sober together.” He honored the power of one alcoholic helping another, the lineage stretching back to Bill W. and Dr. Bob, and the gift of unity, service, and recovery that transformed him from a man living under the shadow of a whisky bottle into a sober father, husband, and servant of others. Paul reminded newcomers that AA is hope in human form, that the Steps are not suggestions but lifelines, and that the real miracle is getting your life, your purpose, and your spirit back—one day at a time.
