Ever wondered what it takes to turn a life around after addiction? Dive into the gripping story of Wesie P, who shares her tumultuous journey at the 4th Annual Sponsorship Convention in Tampa, Florida, back in 1990. Wesie's tale is not just about overcoming alcoholism but about the ups and downs that life threw her way. From childhood antics to her adult struggles with alcohol, Wesie paints a vivid picture of how she navigated her path to sobriety.
Her candid recounting includes humorous anecdotes about her stubbornness as a child and the lengths she went to avoid eating anything but potatoes, along with the hilarious confrontations with her family over mismatched socks. As she grew older, Wesie's drinking spiralled out of control, leading her through a series of hospitals and mental institutions, yet she found hope in the most unexpected places.
One pivotal moment was meeting Virginia from Fort Myers, whose own story of recovery inspired Wesie to believe change was possible. With light-hearted humour and raw honesty, Wesie reflects on how she learned to appreciate her parents, embrace sobriety, and redefine her self-worth. Her journey is a testament to the power of resilience and the support of community. If you're curious about how someone can find strength and happiness after hitting rock bottom, this episode is a must-listen.
Wesie's story reminds us that even in the darkest times, there is always a chance for a fresh start. What would you do if you had a second chance at life?
