John K. shares his experience, strength, and hope, emphasizing that real gratitude is shown through action—by carrying the message to others. After years of failed attempts to stay sober, he finally surrendered in 1999, realizing he was completely powerless over alcohol. Through a strong sponsor and the Big Book’s precise instructions, he worked the steps, starting with a deep understanding of his hopelessness in Step 1. Step 2 gave him the hope that a power greater than himself could restore him, and Step 3 marked a true turning point—fully committing to take action. With rigorous Step 4 and 5 work, he uncovered the truth about his selfishness, self-centered fears, and delusions, leading to a complete psychic change. Today, John emphasizes that the steps are not theoretical but practical tools for living. By sponsoring others, he continues to stay close to God and remain free from alcohol, experiencing the profound joy of seeing new men and women recover.
