Thank god, you were here when I needed you and I need you more now than I needed you My First Week in alcoholics anonymous, because if I pick up my next first drink, I know I'll never get sober again.
Picture this: Eileen H standing before a crowd at the Lake Yale Baptist Assemblies Autumn Meeting in October 1981, baring her soul. In this episode of Sober Cast, Eileen opens up about her tumultuous relationship with alcohol, starting from the intoxicating allure of her first drink. Her story is a rollercoaster of blackouts, broken promises, and the deep-seated guilt that often accompanies addiction. But amidst the chaos, there's a beacon of hope.
Eileen's narrative isn't just about the pitfalls of alcoholism; it's about the incredible power of community in recovery. She delves into how the AA fellowship became her lifeline, offering support and understanding when she needed it most. The spiritual journey she embarked on through the 12 steps brought her peace and healing, transforming her life in ways she never imagined. One of the most compelling aspects of Eileen's story is her honesty about the ongoing challenges of staying sober.
She doesn't shy away from discussing the dangers of blackouts and memory loss or how her addiction strained even her closest relationships. Yet, she also shares the profound impact of making amends and rebuilding trust with those she had hurt. Eileen's journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of sharing one's story. Her vulnerability and strength will resonate with anyone who has faced similar struggles or knows someone who has.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and guidance on their path to sobriety.
