"Epworth has kindly hosted the Day Starters Alcoholics Anonymous meeting held each weekday at 6:30 am. I attended that meeting every morning for the first eight or nine years of my sobriety. It was there I discovered a God of my understanding. The work I did in that room has been transformational, helping my relationship with God grow and mature in ways that allowed me to begin to become the person God intends me to be. The room is intimate, and the conversations often focus on developing a relationship with God that sustains sobriety and allows alcoholics to love themselves and others in ways that heal those who attend, their families, and loved ones. I am grateful Day Starters was there to meet me where I found myself in my hour of need."
