Mike shares his spiritually rich story of redemption, illustrating how the power of surrender, honesty, and divine grace transformed a life once dominated by fear, pride, and self-will. From his first drink at age twelve, Mike spent years chasing the false sense of peace alcohol gave him—through war, failed relationships, and near-total ruin—until he reached a point of spiritual bankruptcy, crawling on a bathroom floor and begging for help. Through the mercy of old friends and Alcoholics Anonymous, he found recovery, discovering that true healing came not from intellect or effort but from a relationship with God and the fellowship of AA. After years of sobriety, Mike’s faith was tested again through divorce, illness, and cancer, each time deepening his surrender and gratitude. His story embodies the essence of recovery: that no matter how far one falls, grace can restore purpose, integrity, and love, turning even pain into a pathway toward God and service to others.
