RRP 127 — Ben M. / Triumph Over Trials, Part 2: Three Sponsors, One Prayer, Over Six YearsPresenters: Julie P. Lewis and Peter B. Dowell • 58 minutes • August 14, 2026

Ben M. is back. Two years after recording one of our most popular episodes, he returns with over six years of sobriety and a story about what changed. The chronic relapser who once bought wine after his first AA meeting now sponsors three men. And somewhere in the last two years, the fever broke.

In Part 1, we revisited Ben's original story. Part 2 picks up where that left off. His sponsor told him, "Sweetie, I don't know what else I can tell you." Ben sat with that discomfort. He stopped fighting. And one week after another, three men asked him to sponsor them. This is about seeing the world with new eyes, about a listener named Ryan who commented "He's why I stay sober," about Portland Pride, meditation meetings, breakfast casseroles, and promises that actually started coming true.
