And I will tell you that Today, in my walk Nearly Years Later, I'm looking back at step two.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after hitting rock bottom? Meet Edith P, an attorney from Alabama who got sober in 1987. In 2001, she shared her compelling story at an AA meeting, revealing the tough journey she endured. Growing up in a household plagued by alcoholism, Edith's early life was marred by her parents' struggles with drinking.
Her mother’s battle with alcohol ultimately led to her death, and her father's drinking left lasting scars on Edith's childhood. Edith herself spiraled into addiction, leading to arrests and even the threat of shock treatment. Dropping out of college and facing numerous legal issues, she was on a path of self-destruction. However, she found a lifeline in Alcoholics Anonymous. Through the supportive community and the transformative process of sobriety, Edith rebuilt her life.
She talks candidly about the importance of a supportive network and the deep, psychic change that sobriety brings. Edith's story is a powerful reminder that recovery is a continuous journey, not a one-time event. Tune in to hear her inspiring tale of resilience and hope.
