Step One with Daniel Watts | RecoverED

by | Jan 7, 2026 | #Men, 12 Steps, Alcoholism, Step 1

In this episode of “RecoverED,” Daniel Watts shares how repeated attempts to control his drinking failed, not because of a lack of willpower, but because of alcoholism’s mental obsession, physical allergy, and spiritual malady. His story highlights how true recovery begins with surrender and the courage to say, “I don’t know. Help me.”
