A paragraph by paragraph big book study from the comfort of home
Sunday 9:00 a.m. (central)
DEREK STONE is a recovered alcoholic, life coach, and internationally-sought 12 step speaker who started is own journey of recovery and personal development by overcoming three common obstacles to recovery:

GETTING SOBER YOUNG 
Derek got sober at the age of 20, and he is part of the "never had a legal drink" club

BEING "FORCED" INTO SOBRIETY 
Derek did not initiate a process of recovery himself, it was initiated for him by a court intervention, and he is part of the "nudge from the judge" club.

GETTING SOBER ON THE FIRST TRY
Derek had never attended a 12 step group prior to his stay in treatment and has been sober since his first stay in treatment, making him part of the "one hit wonder" club.
He has spent literally half his life engaged in the active study, practice, and teaching of the 12 step program of recovery outlined in the book Alcoholics Anonymous. Over the past 22 years of his own personal sobriety, he has worked professionally in treatment for a decade, helped thousands of alcoholics find freedom, and has personally heard over 200 fifth steps. He lives in Austin, TX where he facilitates workshops, retreats, and an online big book study.
