About this episode
Don C. from Colorado Spring, CO speaking at the 4 Seasons Workshop at the 1st NM Indian AA Convention in Albuquerque, NM - April 1st 1994 Visit our website - Sober-Sunrise.com Don shares a deeply spiritual message blending Native tradition with recovery. He spoke of prophecies marking a new springtime for Indigenous people, a stirring where hidden gifts would surface and healers would emerge after walking hard personal roads. Drawing on the medicine wheel, he reframed the Twelve Steps as a circle of relationships—with Creator, self, others, and elders—urging that growth follows cycles of spring, summer, fall, and winter. He emphasized that mistakes are sacred teachers, part of the wide Red Road of life, and that healing means living in harmony with the unseen world where spirit and intent are always felt. His story reflects not just recovery from alcoholism since 1978, but a larger calling: to reconnect culture, honor trials as life school, and help bring healing circles to his people.
