Without God, there is no strength - George - AA Speaker

George was unexpectedly asked to speak, noting their fifteen years in the program, initially focusing only on Steps One, Two, and Three. They recall a pivotal moment at age 17 in a maximum-security jail cell, where reading the Bible revealed two verses that instilled terror, confirming their weakness without God and the dire consequences of dying drunk, despite initial resistance to the full implications. George describes their struggle with Step Two’s suggestion of needing sanity and their evolving perception of God, influenced by a Southern Baptist mother and a drunken father, ultimately finding acceptance and help through the fellowship and understanding that God could be as they understood them.
