I Told Every Lie I Could Tell [Season 7, Episode 4]

This episode of AA Grapevine's Podcast features an incredibly raw and honest conversation with Nyla, who shares her journey from a troubled childhood to long-term sobriety. Nyla opens up about her early life, marked by secrets and a struggle with trust, which led her to Alcoholics Anonymous. She recounts the moment she read Bill's Story in the Big Book and thought, 'hello me', feeling an instant connection that pulled her into the program.

Despite her initial scepticism and many relapses, Nyla found a community in AA that embraced her diversity and helped her realise the importance of staying sober not just for herself, but to help others too. The hosts, Don and Sam, add their own humour and insights, making this episode both heartfelt and engaging. They also discuss the challenges of daily prayer and meditation, sharing practical tips and resources like the Grapevine's book on the subject.

This episode is a testament to the power of honesty, community, and perseverance in the journey to recovery. If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice wrapped in genuine human connection, this episode is a must-listen.
