And were there really that many women when you first started? It's a vip and I don't want to give up my seat. We all have a different god of our understanding, and the beauty of sobriety is that you don't get to graduate.
What does 15 years of sobriety look like? In this heartfelt episode of the Sobertown Podcast, guest hosts Elaine Skylar Neal and Sara Malloy sit down with Sara's Auntie Deb to uncover her remarkable journey of living sober for over a decade and a half. Auntie Deb’s story is a compelling blend of wisdom, resilience, and hope, offering valuable insights for anyone on the path to sobriety or supporting someone who is.
Kicking things off, Auntie Deb delves into her early days of recovery, highlighting the pivotal role Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) played in her life. She emphasizes the importance of spirituality in her journey, noting that everyone’s understanding of a higher power is unique and personal. For Auntie Deb, sobriety isn’t just a goal; it’s an ongoing process that requires daily commitment. The conversation takes an interesting turn as Auntie Deb shares her observations about younger generations and their approach to sobriety.
She believes that young people today are reaching rock bottom faster than previous generations, making sobriety more appealing and “cool”. Her message is clear: avoiding the pitfalls of addiction early on can lead to a fulfilling life. Moderation versus abstinence is another hot topic in this episode. Auntie Deb is firm in her belief that for alcoholics, moderation isn’t a viable option. Sobriety, she argues, is the key to unlocking a truly great life. Her advice?
Focus on your own journey and clean up your side of the street rather than worrying about others. In a lighter moment, the hosts and Auntie Deb dive into their shared love for fantasy football, discussing draft picks and predictions for the next season. But they soon return to the serious topic of celebrating milestones in recovery. Auntie Deb stresses the importance of recognizing your own progress and giving back to those still struggling with addiction.
This episode of Sobertown Podcast is more than just an interview; it’s a testament to the power of living sober and the endless rewards it brings. Auntie Deb’s story is sure to leave listeners feeling inspired and hopeful, encouraging them to embrace their own journeys with courage and determination.
