My Willpower Was Killing Me: Surrender To AA Was What Saved Me

Mike shares his story with warmth and humor, grounding it in nearly five decades of sobriety since July 1970. He reflected on how love—not something to be earned, but freely given—became central to his recovery, alongside honesty and acceptance. Drawing from the Big Book and 12 & 12, he emphasized that the root problem is self—resentments, fear, and pride—and that the solution is surrendering to a loving Higher Power. He broke down steps four through seven, explaining how inventories, confession, and willingness lead to transformation, courage, and freedom. His message underscored that true change comes not from willpower but from reliance on God and fellowship, turning a life once ruled by fear and resentment into one of spiritual growth, connection, and joy. This audio is from when Mike W. from Wilmington, NC spoke about steps 4, 5, 6 and 7 at the 25th Brazos Conference in Lake Jackson Texas on October 19th 2002.
