With nearly 11 years of sobriety under her belt, Peggy opens up about the highs and lows of her path to sanity through Al-Anon’s 12-step programme. She reflects on her gratitude for the supportive community that has been with her every step of the way. Peggy's anecdotes range from humorous observations about disorganised service work to deeply emotional stories about personal struggles and triumphs.

Her honesty about the painful parts of her journey, like dealing with psoriasis and emotional blackouts, adds a raw authenticity to her narrative.

Yet, she also brings light-heartedness, recalling her father’s amusing quirks and the joy of being treated like a princess by a family friend. Peggy’s ultimate message is one of hope and community. She emphasises the importance of being honest with oneself and others, and the healing power of sharing one's story. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and comfort in their own recovery journey.
