How do individuals turn their lives around after addiction? In this episode of 'Sober Speak', John M. welcomes back Veronica V. for the second part of her captivating journey through sobriety. Veronica, a British expat residing in Alabama, shares her 25-year journey of recovery, delving into the nuances of the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) 12-step programme.
With a delightful mix of humour and sincerity, Veronica recounts her early days in sobriety, the spiritual malady she faced, and the transformative power of making amends. She highlights the importance of humility and spiritual discipline, likening it to a workout regime—just as you can't stay fit without regular exercise, you can't maintain sobriety without ongoing spiritual practice.

So grab a cup of tea, settle in, and let Veronica's journey inspire you to take the next step in your own life.
