I came here because I was hurting intensely inside, and I soon discovered after the first six months that I would have to do more than just physically stop drinking.

In this episode of Recovery Radio Network, you'll hear Lillian, an AA speaker, share her deeply personal journey through alcoholism and recovery. Lillian candidly talks about her life before sobriety, describing the chaos and pain that alcohol brought into her life. She recounts the intoxicating allure of alcohol and the atmosphere that surrounded it, drawing her deeper into addiction.

With a mix of humour and raw honesty, Lillian reflects on the 'mad stages' and 'glad stages' of her drinking days, painting a vivid picture of her struggles and the eventual turning point that led her to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Lillian's story is not just about quitting alcohol; it's about finding a new way of living. She emphasises the importance of addressing the internal issues that fuelled her addiction, rather than just focusing on the physical act of stopping drinking.

Her journey is one of spiritual discovery and personal growth, as she learns to embrace a higher power and let go of her ego-driven tendencies. Throughout her talk, Lillian shares anecdotes about the people who influenced her recovery, from fellow AA members to historical figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King. She speaks about the importance of humility, spiritual courage, and the ongoing process of self-discovery.

Lillian's reflections are both inspiring and relatable, offering hope to anyone struggling with addiction. This episode is a testament to the power of community and the transformative potential of the twelve-step programme. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, Lillian's story will resonate deeply. So, why not take a moment to listen and see how her experiences might inspire your own journey?
