And some nights I can close my eyes and be assured that the grace of God can do for me what I cannot do for myself, and that is to grow in the likeness of my creator.
Imagine finding yourself lost, searching for something to fill the emptiness inside. That's where Mary Ann V from Denver, Colorado, found herself before she began her journey to sobriety in 1990. Speaking at the Salt Lake City Group in March 2009, Mary Ann's story is a poignant reminder of the healing power of Alcoholics Anonymous. Her drinking days were chaotic, a desperate attempt to fill a void that alcohol could never satisfy.
It wasn't until she walked into the rooms of AA that she began to find the support and guidance she needed to turn her life around. One of the key elements of Mary Ann's recovery was her relationship with her sponsor. She candidly shares how her sponsor's patience and wisdom helped her navigate the twelve steps, even when she was resistant and full of doubt.
This bond was crucial in helping her build a deeper connection with her higher power and ultimately achieve lasting sobriety. Mary Ann doesn't shy away from discussing the hurdles she faced while working through the twelve steps. Her honesty about these struggles makes her story relatable to anyone who has grappled with the challenges of recovery.
She had to let go of her preconceived notions about what recovery should look like and embrace the process with humility and an open heart. Faith also plays a significant role in Mary Ann's journey. She talks about how her relationship with her higher power has evolved, offering her comfort and strength as she turned her life over to a greater will.
Her story is a testament to the fact that recovery is not a solo endeavor but one that thrives on community, faith, and humility. Tune into Sober Cast to hear Mary Ann V's inspiring talk and let her journey be a source of hope and healing for anyone struggling with addiction.
