Welcome to The Daily Reprieve, where we offer essay, speaker meetings, workshops, and conferences in podcast format. Today, we have a moving episode featuring Kirkland A., who shares his inspiring journey from the depths of addiction to a life of sobriety and service.

Kirkland begins by expressing gratitude for the opportunity to share his story, detailing his early life struggles with addiction and the genetic predisposition within his family. He recounts the painful experiences of his childhood, including the lack of emotional support from his father and the traumatic sexual abuse he endured.

Despite the dark path his addiction led him down, Kirkland found hope through the SA fellowship. He describes his turning point, entering a detox facility and finding a community that understood his struggles. With the support of his sponsor and the SA program, Kirkland began to rebuild his life, focusing on service and recovery.
