Where I Found My Sobriety

I WENT BACK to prison this time under new circumstances. I went back as an AA speaker. Four years ago, I was an inmate. In prison, I kept hearing over and over at AA meetings that just abstaining from alcohol wasn't the answer to staying out of trouble; I had to sober up my thinking, and that meant sobering up mentally, morally, and most of all, spiritually. When I started doing that, things began to happen. My values--what I wanted out of life--started changing for the better.
