In this episode of Sober Readings, I team up with my friend Laura to explore one of the most transformative steps in recovery: Step Three from the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions.
We read aloud through the chapter, unpacking the profound meaning behind "Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him."
The conversation gets real as we share personal experiences - the fear, resistance, and eventual relief that come with surrender; how this step plays out in everyday sober life; and the freedom found in letting go of self-will.
Whether you're working the steps, supporting someone in recovery, or simply curious about the spiritual side of sobriety, this honest discussion offers insight, encouragement, and a reminder that we're never alone on this path.
Tune in, reflect, and join us as we keep walking one step at a time.

Episode Title: Came To Believe – Chapter 8, Stories 1–4 (Sunday Reading)
In this Sunday's heartfelt reading from Came To Believe, we cover the first four powerful personal stories in Chapter 8. These accounts share raw moments of doubt, spiritual awakening, and the unexpected ways many of us in recovery finally "came to believe" in a power greater than ourselves—each one offering hope, honesty, and a reminder that no journey is too far gone.
Join us as we explore these inspiring testimonies and reflect on how belief can quietly transform even the most skeptical heart.
Looking ahead: Next Sunday we'll finish the rest of Chapter 8! If you'd like to be our guest reader for one (or more) of the remaining stories, we'd love to have your voice on the show. Just send a quick DM to @SoberReadings or reply to the episode post with your interest—we'll coordinate timing and recording details.
Whether you're listening for the first time or returning for your weekly reflection, thank you for being part of this sober community. New episodes drop every Sunday morning.
Keep coming back! 🎙️✨

In this episode of Sober Readings, I read Chapter 7 of Came to Believe, titled "Coincidence?"
I share the opening personal stories: "Why? I Don’t Know," "A Rainy Night," "God Was the Postman," "Mathematical Miracle," and "Something Was Wrong." These accounts highlight those moments in recovery where events line up so perfectly—through a timely letter, a chance meeting on a stormy night, or guidance that feels anything but random—that they point to a Higher Power at work.
It's a gentle nudge from skepticism toward faith, tying right into Step Two: coming to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. These real A.A. experiences show how what looks like coincidence often reveals something deeper, offering hope and encouragement for anyone questioning the spiritual side of sobriety.
If you're exploring faith, wrestling with doubts, or just need a reminder that help can arrive in unexpected ways, join me for this thoughtful reading. In recovery, the line between coincidence and miracle gets pretty blurry sometimes.
Take a deep breath, center yourself, and take what you need from today’s message. Let’s begin.
Remember, just for today: don’t drink, go to a meeting, and keep coming back.
