Kickoff Speaker, Friday 4 to 5 pm, Friday Layfayette A&B Tyler M., Saturday 10:30 Group
Bio: My sobriety date is May 31st, 2019. I have a sponsor, my sponsor has a sponsor, and I’ve been awakened spiritually as a result of working the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous as laid out in The Big Book. I was born in Auburn, a small city located in upstate New York. Since coming into Alcoholics AnoTyler M., Saturday 10:30 Group nymous I have earned many more titles than hopeless drunk. Today I’m a friend, a son, a sibling, a small business owner, and soon-to-be husband. I live a life of service, one day at a time and never forget that treating my alcoholism is paramount to anything else in my life as I wouldn’t have the life I have today without God, the fellowship and the program of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Early Bird Speaker 5:15 pm to 6:15 pm,Friday Lafayette A&B Debbie C. Coffee and Donuts Group
Bio: here are pictures of me drinking beer at family parties when I was 4. At the age of 12, when I began drinking occasionally with friends, I knew it was the answer to what was “wrong” with me. By the time I was 16, I was a professional. For years it was a ton of fun, until it wasn’t. I finally walked into my first AA meeting in 1993. However, I have been continuously sober for 9 years and not 30. I am the woman I am today because Alcoholics Anonymous saved my life, more than once. I absolutely love this sober life I get to live and wouldn’t change a single moment of the journey it took to get me here.
