Nicole's Road to Recovery: Finding Hope and Rebuilding Family
I was just driven when I came into these rooms and one of the biggest things that I've gotten over The Years is through awareness.
Imagine hitting rock bottom at just 26 years old. That's where Nicole found herself, battling an addiction that led to her son being taken away. Her story, shared on the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast, is a raw and real look at the struggles and victories of sobriety.
Hosts Don and Sam guide the conversation, diving into Nicole's early encounters with alcohol at age 16, her darkest days of consuming two fifths of liquor or getting trashed off two beers, and the pivotal moment when she realized she'd rather die than continue drinking. But Nicole's journey doesn't end in despair. She opens up about the turning point that led her to sobriety, the birth of her daughter during her recovery, and the heartwarming reunion with her son.
Recorded in July 2017, this episode captures Nicole's resilience and the transformative power of community and support in AA. Her home group, Easy Does It in Greensboro, NC, plays a crucial role in her ongoing recovery. Whether you're new to sobriety or a seasoned member of AA, Nicole's story is a testament to the strength and hope found in recovery.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation that highlights the importance of staying active, healthy, and connected in the journey to a life free from addiction.
