Yolanda's Road to Sobriety: From Chaos to Clarity
God spoke to me in the shower- weird, don't do a visual- but I was in the shower and that's the time that I would do my quiet time, my praying to God. And I kid you not the way that I am talking right now. I heard him say you are forgiven, and I just burst into tears and I yelled at my husband: you will not believe what just happened to me.
Picture this: a young girl growing up in a home where alcohol flows as freely as water. This was Yolanda's reality. Her relationship with alcohol began early, and by high school, she was deep into the party scene, using drinking as a way to escape her family's dysfunction. Fast forward a few years, and Yolanda is a mother, drinking a handle of Bacardi a week, her life spiraling out of control.
In this episode of Sober Cast, Yolanda opens up about her journey to sobriety. She shares how she hit rock bottom and realized she couldn't continue living in the chaos that alcohol brought into her life. Seeking help, she turned to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), where she found the support and guidance she desperately needed. Through the 12 steps of AA, Yolanda worked through her pain and found forgiveness for herself and others.
Her story is one of resilience and hope, proving that recovery is possible for anyone willing to put in the effort. Yolanda's tale isn't just about quitting drinking; it's about reclaiming her life and finding clarity amid the chaos. If you or someone you know is struggling with alcoholism, Yolanda's story is a powerful reminder that help is available and recovery is achievable.
