Ann P. takes the stage in this episode of Recovery Radio Network, sharing her deeply personal journey through alcoholism and recovery. From the very start, Ann's honesty and humour shine as she welcomes newcomers to the convention and reflects on her struggles and triumphs. Her story is one of resilience, marked by battles with addiction, chemotherapy, and personal loss. Yet, it's also filled with gratitude for the support she received from her AA family, especially her sponsor and close friends.
Ann recounts her early days in AA, the people who shaped her recovery, and the moments that tested her resolve.

Ann's message is clear: recovery is possible, and it's made richer by the connections we form along the way. This episode is a testament to the power of sharing one's story and the healing that comes from being part of a supportive community.
