I don't know why I'm an alcoholic. I used to think it was very important to try to figure that out.
Carla R's journey is a testament to resilience and the power of change, shared in this episode of Sober Cast. Speaking from the Sobriety Under the Sun Convention in Puerto Vallarta, Carla takes you on a rollercoaster ride through her life, from a tumultuous childhood to finding solace in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Her story is both harrowing and hopeful, filled with moments that could make anyone pause and reflect on their own path.
Carla's anecdotes, like her experiences in a mental hospital at just 15, are raw and real. She candidly shares how alcohol shaped her life and the pivotal moments that led her to AA. Her tale isn't just about overcoming addiction but also about rediscovering oneself amidst chaos. Through humour and honesty, Carla paints a vivid picture of her struggles and triumphs, highlighting the importance of community and support in recovery.
One of the standout themes is the transformative power of AA's steps, which Carla credits with helping her reclaim her life. She touches on the importance of spiritual experiences and how they helped her conquer the illness of alcoholism. Her story is not just about personal recovery but also about mending relationships and building a life filled with purpose. For anyone grappling with similar challenges or supporting someone who is, Carla's story offers both comfort and motivation.
Her narrative is a reminder that change is possible, no matter how deep the struggle. Tune in to hear how one woman's journey through darkness led her to light, and perhaps find some inspiration for your own journey.
