So anyway, that's kind of like what I've been able to do I finally- that's what AA's given me- is to surrender to God and for God's grace to be enough for me to be present with people and listen, for me to become the woman of God I always wanted to be.
Amy S. opens up about her battle with alcoholism and her journey to sobriety in this heartfelt episode of Sober Speak. As the wife of a pastor, Amy faced unique challenges, including societal pressures and family expectations that often made her feel trapped. She candidly discusses how she turned to alcohol and prescription medication to cope with her anxiety and the immense pressure to be perfect.

Amy found solace in Alcoholics Anonymous, where she discovered a community of people who understood her struggles. She speaks passionately about the importance of surrendering to a higher power and how the twelve steps of AA provided her with the tools she needed to rebuild her life.
Through acceptance, gratitude, and a strong sense of fellowship, Amy was able to transform her life and become the person she always wanted to be. Throughout the episode, Amy emphasizes the power of community support in recovery. She shares how being present and listening to others can be incredibly transformative, not just for the individual but for the entire group.
Her story is a powerful reminder that no one has to face addiction alone and that recovery is possible with the right support system. If you're looking for an inspiring story of resilience and transformation, Amy's journey is a must-listen. Her experiences highlight the importance of community, acceptance, and the willingness to surrender to a higher power in overcoming addiction.
