With a heavy heart, I want to share that my beloved first sponsor, Kimberly A\u2014affectionately known as Kimmerz\u2014has passed away. She was the gentle, wise soul who walked me through my first year of sobriety. Her kindness and love changed my life. In fact, in my book \u201cThe 12 Step Guide for Skeptics\u201d, (and with her blessing of course), I documented how she walked me through the steps and set me on a path that has kept me sober for over 31 years now. In the book I included all the reading assignments and all the written homework that she gave me, as well as many of the lessons she taught me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a tribute to Kimmerz, I am republishing the conversation we had in episode 99. My hope is that you will get a sense of just how wonderful she was. She touched so many lives and I\u2019m so grateful to have had the honor of sharing her story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So without further delay, please enjoy this episode with our beloved Kimmerz. May she rest in peace.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83d\udc4a\ud83c\udffcNeed help applying this information to your own life?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are 3 ways to get started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83c\udf81Free Guide: 30 Tips for Your First 30 Days &#8211;
