Kari's Sobriety Journey: Navigating the 13th Step and Finding Support

I recognized myself and I quickly realized: wow, this is where I belong.
Ever wondered about the darker side of support groups? In this eye-opening episode of Recovery Elevator, Kari shares her gripping journey to sobriety, shedding light on the controversial '13th step' in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). With four years of sobriety under her belt, Kari opens up about her past struggles with controlled drinking that spiraled into chaos, leading to failed marriages and risky situations.
Her story is a raw and honest look at the pitfalls of the 13th step, where newcomers in AA are sometimes taken advantage of by more seasoned members. Paul Churchill sits down with Kari to discuss her experiences and the transformative power of finding a truly supportive community. They dive into the reality that while AA has its flaws, it also offers immense benefits for those seeking help.
Kari’s journey underscores the importance of accountability and finding a group that genuinely supports your path to sobriety. Whether you’re struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode is a must-listen. It’s a powerful reminder that while the road to recovery can be fraught with challenges, finding the right community can make all the difference.
