Don shares a powerful story of recovery that bridges the Twelve Steps with the spiritual teachings of his Mohican ancestors, showing how a man broken by alcohol, trauma, and cultural loss found healing through honesty, surrender, and connection. After crawling out of addiction’s “arena” with nothing left, he fully committed to AA, worked the Steps with discipline, returned to his cultural ceremonies, and discovered that the Steps themselves form a sacred circle of growth—east to south to west to north—guiding him back to the Creator and to himself. Today Don is a respected elder and a leader involved in community healing projects, helping others reconnect to culture, spirit, and sobriety. His journey reveals how the Steps, when treated as sacred, can bring a person from despair to deep spiritual purpose.
