Laurie K from Vacaville, California, takes the stage as the young people's speaker at the 2022 55th Annual District 22 AA Convention. With a mix of humour and heartfelt moments, Laurie shares her journey of sobriety, starting from her childhood in Omaha, Nebraska. Growing up in a family deeply affected by alcoholism, Laurie’s story is filled with both struggle and triumph. She recounts her early encounters with alcohol and the path that led her to AA on January 1st, 1981.
Laurie’s candid reflections on her father’s battle with addiction and his tragic end provide a raw glimpse into the impact of alcoholism on families. Despite these challenges, Laurie’s message is one of hope and resilience. She talks about the power of the AA community, the importance of sponsorship, and the transformative journey of growing old in sobriety. Her anecdotes about stealing knockers in first grade and driving through cornfields add a touch of levity to her otherwise serious narrative.
Laurie’s story is a testament to the healing power of AA and the strength found in community. If you’re looking for an inspiring tale of recovery, Laurie’s speech is a must-listen.
