Damon got sober 8/10/2004. He covers in this talk how transcendence has been a major theme of his journey in sobriety. Bill W seems to suggest a change to the 3rd Step Prayer (Alcoholics Anonymous, p.63) in his 1967 book As Bill Sees It: The AA Way of Life (p.210). He changes the word "victory" to "my transcendence" in a manner that Damon feels is a better term to describe the shift from Actor to Agent, User to Giver, Victim to Having a New Employer.
