In this insightful episode, Paige F shares her personal journey through alcoholism and the challenges of relapse. Addressing newcomers and those counting their days of sobriety, she emphasizes the importance of acknowledging the struggles that come with addiction. Paige candidly describes the guilt and shame that accompany relapse, portraying it as a moment of self-hatred and self-pity that she has experienced numerous times.

She stresses that taking immediate and thorough action can lead to permanent sobriety.
Her story serves as a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, and it is achieved through dedication, spiritual growth, and the support of a community like Alcoholics Anonymous.
