Kim C. AFG speaker

Kim C. takes the mic in this heartfelt episode of Recovery Radio Network, sharing her journey from alcoholism to sobriety. With a touch of humour and a lot of honesty, Kim recounts her early days of drinking, influenced by a family where alcohol was always present. Her story is filled with relatable moments, like aspiring to marry her best friend's brother just so they could have barbecues and drink together.

But it wasn't all fun and games; Kim's drinking led to blackouts, run-ins with the police, and near-tragic decisions. Through the grace of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), supportive sponsorship, and a dedicated home group, Kim found her way out of the darkness. She vividly describes the transformative power of AA meetings and working the Twelve Steps. Kim also highlights the importance of sponsorship in her recovery, both as a sponsor and a sponsee.

Her anecdotes about sponsoring other women bring a smile and underline how much it means to her. One particularly touching part of her story involves her struggles as a single mother and how her AA community rallied around her during tough times, including when she was in ICU. Kim's journey also includes overcoming personal tragedy, such as her husband's battle with cancer, which tested her sobriety but ultimately strengthened her resolve.

This episode is a rollercoaster of emotions—humorous, raw, and incredibly inspiring. Kim's candidness about her highs and lows offers hope to anyone grappling with addiction. Her message is clear: sobriety is possible, and the support of a community can make all the difference. Tune in to hear Kim's story; it's one you won't forget.
