Nearly five years sober, Mark faced federal charges – then the agent who arrested him asked for help getting sober. Seeing an FBI agent as an AA newcomer was one thing. Learning to help him without expecting something back was another.

Mark tells a fast, funny AA story about success, grandiosity, and arriving at a meeting convinced he could buy Alcoholics Anonymous. He recalls making a fortune in the record business while still trying to prove himself to his late father, then getting sober on February 22, 1983, under the watch of a blunt, loving sponsor. Early recovery includes disco suits, late-night Twelve Step calls, losing his possessions, and learning that a sober birthday still matters when the outside of his life looks like a failure. Nearly five years sober, old conduct catches up with him in a federal indictment. The agent who takes him to court later admits he can’t stop drinking and asks for help. The agent later steps away from the case, but Mark continues sponsoring him. Mark also describes AA friends packing the courtroom, a suspended sentence, and eventually presenting that same man with a thirteen-year sobriety cake. Beneath the outrageous stories is a clear message about sponsorship, resentment, accountability, and the fellowship that taught him to value sobriety over status and to love and forgive himself and others.
