Steve Dorsey

On March 26, 2012 Steve Dorsey found himself sitting on stage with the legendary talk show host Oprah Winfrey in front of thousands of Oprah Life Class audience attendees and national TV viewers along with the famous spiritual teacher Iyanla Vanznt to discover why he was in so much pain even after being sober nearly ten years and wanting to die! 

His story was so powerful and filled with such emotion that it set off a viral social media trend on twitter and facebook know today as "Stand With Steve" 

Prior to the show Steve had been doing everything possible to not only live a productive life but a productive sober life only to find life was very over bearing and so ruthless that everything he accomplished in sobriety he was soon to lose it all once again but only this time he lost it in sobriety.

The Recession that devastated so many had left Steve homeless and trying to stay above water when he lost everything he had and it kept getting worse and worse, for he was about to find himself homeless a second time and this time he had no means of transportation and not a penny to his name. 

Right after Steve had a few years of sobriety underneath his belt he jumped into life doing what he always dreamed of doing that his addictions had always kept him from doing and that was becoming a successful businessman.

His entrepreneur spirit and vision allowed him to build several successful business ventures while learning everything he could on his own by trail and error along with "Google" he manged to accumulate pretty good life until he found himself in a situation he could not escape from and it almost drove him into a deep depression.

He utilized positive thinking techniques and fitness to manage his stress levels for some time then he found himself in a situation that he felt like no matter what he did or thought nothing was going to work and every time he managed to get a little ahead he found himself sinking deeper and deeper and finally he just couldn't take anymore and had thoughts drinking once again for he felt surely he would drink himself to death anyways and would commit suicide by the bottle! 

He says the one thing that gave him hope was when he seen a interview Oprah Winfrey was doing on the famous life coach Anthony Robbins and it was one statement Tony made that Inspired Steve to do some investigating and that investigating eventually not only lead him to meeting and being a guest on Oprah Winfrey's newest business venture "OWN" Oprah's Life Class Tour as well as having Tony Robbins personally "Texting" Oprah and inviting Steve to a event he just happened to be doing in New Jersey called Unleash The Power With (UPW) the same exact one Steve was watching when Oprah was interviewing Tony and Tony stated he hates it when people call him a Motivational Speaker, simply because that stuff doesn't work and he is really a Life Coach!

That statement is what gave Steve the desire to keep going forward and eventually lead him to Oprah's website and write in on a Topic for a possible show idea that dealt with "PAIN". This was an area Steve knew all too well for he had a pain within him so bad it was trying to kill him! 

Not only did thousands of audience members stand up as well as social media viewers went as far as posting "I am Standing with Steve"  and national television viewers all watching and many in tears.

Today Steve uses his life experience in a positive manner by helping others go through a process of uncovering some of the secrets of their past and their addictive stories in a way many walk away with several ah ha moments filled with a sence of clarity and inner peace.
