35 Years Old---20 Years Sober

Ever wondered what it’s like to get sober at just 15 years old? In this episode of Recovery Radio Network, Deb H. from Beaufort, SC, takes you on a rollercoaster journey through her 20 years of sobriety. Starting with her sobriety date of March 15, 1987, Deb shares the ups and downs of living a sober life, from the chaos of her teenage years to the stability she found in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).

Her story is filled with raw honesty, humour, and heartfelt moments that will resonate with anyone who’s struggled with addiction or supported someone who has. Deb opens up about her initial resistance to the idea of lifelong sobriety, thinking it was an impossible feat at such a young age. But she soon realised that taking it one day at a time was the key to her success.

With anecdotes about hiding booze in bushes and the chaos it caused at home, Deb paints a vivid picture of her early struggles. Yet, it’s not all gloom; she also talks about the incredible support she received from AA members who helped her navigate through tough times. One standout moment is when Deb recalls an old-timer with 42 years of sobriety who initially dismissed her story because she got sober so young.

It’s a poignant reminder that everyone’s journey is unique and valuable. Deb’s experiences highlight the importance of community and sponsorship in AA, as well as the ongoing work required to maintain sobriety.
