Alcoholics Anonymous is not a success story. Rather, it is the chronicle of a colossal human failure, turned to usefulness by the divine alchemy of a loving God.
In this heartfelt episode of Recovery Radio Network, Mari G shares her inspiring journey from the depths of alcoholism to a life of gratitude and sobriety. Speaking at a conference in Minneapolis, Mari reflects on her personal experiences, beginning with her early years in Scotland where she vowed never to drink after witnessing the effects of alcohol on her grandfather.
Despite her resolution, she found herself battling addiction, which led her down a dark path of violence, mental institutions, and living on Skid Row in Miami Beach. Through the support of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Mari found hope and healing, celebrating sobriety since August 10, 1984. Mari's story is filled with raw honesty and humour, as she recounts her struggles and the people who helped her along the way.
She expresses deep gratitude to America for giving the world AA, a program she believes could only have started in a country with religious freedom. Mari also thanks the various individuals who supported her journey, including her hostess Julie and her conference companions. The episode is not just about Mari's recovery but also about the broader impact of AA on individuals and families.
She touches on the importance of understanding that AA is not a cure-all and acknowledges the struggles of those who come to AA seeking solace from different addictions. Mari's tale is a testament to the transformative power of community and faith, offering hope to anyone facing similar battles. Mari's speech is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible and that gratitude can be found even in the darkest times.
Her journey underscores the importance of support systems and the profound changes that can occur when one embraces help.
