My life was always motivated by fear, self-centered fear, and I can remember being in the first grade and just terrified of those other kids and I didn't know how to interact with people. And Today I look around the art world and I read the art sections, and I see on television some of the students I went to school with who are famous in that world Today. And I'd sit in there and look at the movies and just daydream and how people lived, and I'd watch those families and god, I thought how wonderful that must be and I wondered if that would ever happen to me, and I'd never seen alcohol. So I opened my mouth and drank the whole thing.
Imagine facing your deepest fears and insecurities head-on, only to emerge stronger and more hopeful. That's exactly what Clara S from Los Angeles did, and she shares her compelling story in this episode of Sober Cast. Recorded at the Winter Holiday Convention in North Little Rock, Arkansas, back in 1990, Clara opens up about her battle with low self-worth and addiction. From a young age, she struggled with feelings of inadequacy and turned to alcohol as a way to cope.
But when her life hit rock bottom, Clara knew she needed to make a drastic change. Through the support of Alcoholics Anonymous and surrendering to a higher power, Clara found a new sense of purpose. She emphasizes the importance of admitting powerlessness and how AA's fellowship provided her with the hope and support she desperately needed. Clara's journey is a testament to the transformative power of community and service work.
By helping others who are also struggling with addiction, she discovered a new purpose and a way to give back. This episode is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, no matter how tough the road may be. Clara's story is filled with raw honesty and genuine hope, making it an inspiring listen for anyone touched by addiction. Whether you're on your own path to sobriety or supporting someone who is, Clara's experience offers valuable insights and encouragement.
