Sallie's Path to Sobriety: From Trauma to Triumph

Rather than having someone administer those pain meds during the initial recovery, that was totally being done once I got home and I was lucid. They're not working on your pain receptors, which is a great thing to point out, because alcohol did that for me too. It just makes it so you don't care about it.
Imagine battling trauma and addiction while trying to find a way out. That's exactly what Sallie faced. In this episode of the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast, Sallie opens up about her intense journey through pain, alcoholism, and the long road to recovery. She shares how a traumatic event led her to pain meds and how she grappled with the ensuing resentment. Drinking every night became her norm until she met someone in recovery and tried controlled drinking.
Her turning point came when she attended Al-Anon meetings and realized the stories being shared were reflections of her own life. Sallie's experiences at speaker meetings played a crucial role in her journey, offering her the strength to push forward. She speaks candidly about the importance of acceptance and making amends, shedding light on how these principles helped her heal.
With a sobriety date of May 15, 2011, and a home group in Greensboro, NC, Sallie's story is a testament to resilience and hope. Whether you're struggling with similar issues or supporting someone who is, Sallie's narrative offers invaluable insights and inspiration.
