I really did come from a dysfunctional family. I didn't think that I shared that with you either, but I do know that today.
In this episode of Sober Cast, you'll hear from a group of inspiring women who have been part of Alcoholics Anonymous for many years. Recorded in Campbell River, BC, in 2007, these women share their personal journeys of recovery, shedding light on the challenges and triumphs they faced along the way. Fran opens up about her quiet and anxious life, detailing how she used education to escape her environment and eventually turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism.
Her story is one of resilience, highlighting how she managed to juggle her drinking habits with her professional life until it all came crashing down. Marguerite, another speaker, recounts her initial scepticism about AA and how she relapsed after nine months of sobriety. Her journey took her through various hospitals and treatments before she finally embraced the AA program fully. She talks about the importance of doing the same things that brought her happiness, joy, and freedom from the beginning.
Yvonne shares a more light-hearted yet equally compelling narrative. Growing up in a home where moonshine was made, she never wanted just one drink. Her story is filled with anecdotes about her family's drinking habits and how she finally realised she had a problem. She describes her first AA meeting and the sense of community she found there. These stories are a testament to the power of AA and the strength of these women.
They offer a mix of humour, honesty, and heartfelt reflections that can inspire anyone on their path to recovery. So, if you're looking for some real-life inspiration and wisdom from those who have walked the path of sobriety for decades, this episode is a must-listen.
