In this episode of Recovery Radio Network, Polly P. takes the stage at the Miami Valley Conference in 2001 to share her heartfelt journey through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). With a touch of humour and raw honesty, Polly recounts her life before sobriety, the struggles she faced, and the transformative power of AA.

She hasn't had a drink since April 11, 1977, and credits her long-term sobriety to the support of her home group, her sponsor Dotty H., and the fellowship she found in AA. Polly's story is peppered with personal anecdotes, from her childhood experiences to her relationships and the pivotal moments that shaped her recovery journey.

She emphasises the importance of staying committed to the programme, sharing how AA has not only helped her stay sober but also transformed her life in ways she never imagined. Polly's message is clear: no matter how tough things get, there's always hope and a way forward with the right support. Whether you're new to AA or have been in the programme for years, Polly's story is a testament to the power of community and perseverance.

Tune in for a dose of inspiration, laughter, and real talk about the ups and downs of recovery.
