Julia N. AFG speaker

Julia N., a speaker at the Gopher State Roundup 2009, brings a heartfelt and candid talk about her journey with Valanon and her struggles with spirituality. Julia's story is filled with humour, raw honesty, and touching anecdotes that many can relate to. She opens up about her initial reluctance to attend the event due to her aversion to cold weather and early mornings, but her commitment to the programme shines through.

Julia speaks about the dark places she has been in recent years, her struggle to feel connected to her higher power, and the significant losses she has faced, including the death of her best friend. She shares a touching story about finding pennies, which she believes are messages from her late friend, offering a sense of comfort and connection.

Julia also talks about her family dynamics, dealing with an alcoholic mother, a drug-addicted brother, and her own experiences in an abusive relationship. Her journey through Al-Anon has not been easy, but she highlights the importance of sponsorship, working the steps, and the support she has received from fellow members. Julia's story is a testament to the power of recovery programmes in transforming lives and finding hope even in the darkest times.

If you're looking for a talk that combines humour, honesty, and inspiration, Julia's speech is one you won't want to miss.
