Connie C takes centre stage in this episode of SoberQ, sharing her journey of sobriety that spans over four decades. At the tender age of 27, Connie found herself grappling with alcohol addiction, a struggle that many can relate to. She poses a poignant question: when did she feel the drink problem had been removed as promised in the tenth step of recovery? Her answer is both surprising and heartening.
Connie reflects on the miracle of realising she hadn't had a drink for two weeks, a milestone that seemed baffling given her past experiences of craving. It's a story that many in recovery will find familiar, filled with moments of doubt and triumph. Connie credits her ongoing sobriety to attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and asking for divine help to stay sober.
She recounts a pivotal moment when she read an article in The Grapevine about someone who almost unconsciously relapsed at a party. This story serves as a powerful reminder for Connie to remember her identity as an alcoholic and addict, and the importance of staying vigilant one day at a time. Today, Connie stays committed to her sobriety by attending Zoom meetings, which offer her the support and connection she needs.
Her narrative is an encouraging reminder that recovery is possible, and that every sober day is a victory worth celebrating. If you're looking for inspiration or insight into the recovery journey, Connie's story is one you won't want to miss. It might just be the spark you need to keep moving forward.
