Steven talks on the theme of responsibility by reflecting on his 24 years of sobriety since getting sober at age 22 in Honolulu. He described his early struggle with alcoholism—drinking heavily through high school and into his early 20s—until professional help brought him into AA, where he immediately felt a weight lift. His long journey emphasized two key responsibilities: carrying AA’s message of hope and recovery, and pursuing a daily relationship with a Higher Power. Through sponsors, service, and spiritual practice, he learned to “err on the side of compassion,” smile through adversity, and integrate all parts of his life under faith. He spoke of overcoming compartmentalization, surviving personal losses, and moving from grudging service to genuine service from the heart. Ultimately, Stephen found that sobriety is about expression through action—choosing compassion, living the steps, and trusting a loving universe—so he can be useful, grateful, and truly free.
