Lenora AA speaker

Lenora's journey through addiction and recovery is a rollercoaster ride through the '60s flower child era, casinos, and eventually, a life-changing rehab experience. In this episode of Recovery Radio Network, Lenora shares her story with raw honesty and a touch of humour. From experimenting with LSD and marijuana to becoming a blackjack dealer in Nevada, Lenora's life spiralled into chaos. Her relationships crumbled, and she found herself alone, lost, and desperate for change.

A late-night TV ad for a rehab centre became her wake-up call, leading her to embrace the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Through AA meetings, she discovered a community of people who understood her struggles and offered unwavering support. Lenora's tale is filled with colourful anecdotes – from stockpiling guns in the woods to becoming a rock-and-roll bartender. Yet, it's her journey to sobriety and the lessons learned along the way that truly resonate.

She highlights the importance of gratitude, living in the moment, and choosing relationships that are loving and respectful. Lenora's story doesn't end with her own recovery; she went on to teach anger management using AA principles and even helped women in prison find their path to peace. Her dedication to helping others extended to Lithuania, where she introduced the 12 steps to a new audience.

This episode is a testament to the power of AA and the transformative impact it can have on one's life. Tune in to hear Lenora's captivating story and be inspired by her resilience and wisdom.
