Really, what we're talking about here is pain, and the pain, the fear, the discomfort that I experience with whatever high level problem I've got, can still feel the same as someone else's low bottom problem.
Ever wondered how someone can hide their drinking and still manage to find the light at the end of the tunnel? In this episode of the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast, we meet Rita, who got sober in Chicago on April 18, 2000.

Whether you're struggling with secret drinking or looking for motivation to keep going, Rita's experiences offer valuable insights and encouragement.
