Debbie H. takes the stage in this episode of Recovery Radio Network, sharing her journey through alcoholism and recovery with a mix of humour, honesty, and heartfelt gratitude. Speaking at a convention in 1992, Debbie reflects on her sobriety date of February 8th, 1976, and emphasises the importance of honesty in maintaining her sobriety. She shares anecdotes about her early days in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), the value of home groups, and the crucial role of having a sponsor.
Debbie's story is peppered with relatable moments, like clinging to the coattails of old-timers and the hilarity of knowing all the local police officers who would let her off with a warning. Her narrative isn't just about the struggle; it's about the joy of finding a community and the peace that comes from living an honest life. Debbie’s experiences remind us that recovery is a continuous journey, filled with ups and downs, but ultimately leading to a fulfilling life.
