Description: Burns B. from Louisville, KY speaking at the 12th Annual Bayouland Jamboree in Houma, LA - January 23rd 1993 Visit our merch and help support the channel🧡 Sober Sunrise Merch Visit our website - Sober-Sunrise.com In this sweeping, deeply compassionate AA talk, Burns B shares a lifetime journey from untreated alcoholism, amphetamine addiction, psychiatric hospitals, ego-driven perfectionism, and near suicide into a living, breathing spiritual recovery grounded in love, honesty, and action; sober since the late 1970s, Burns explains how Alcoholics Anonymous didn’t just teach him how to stop drinking, but how to live—how to surrender control, release resentment, stop lying, love without possession, serve without ego, and show up as a father, husband, physician, and human being even when life is painful—illustrating through powerful stories of his children’s recoveries, his marriage, his professional redemption, and a final moment of grace with his dying father that AA is ultimately the language of the heart, where real miracles aren’t flashy but quietly revealed through humility, service, and learning to be exactly what God needs us to be in each moment.
