I learned that also for me what it means to be a sober alcoholic is to be honest about my journey and to not hold back from telling people about it.
How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, Ty, a 76-year-old from Bozeman, Montana, shares her incredible story of living alcohol-free since March 8th, 2008. Ty's journey is a testament to resilience and the power of community. As the podcast editor for nearly a decade, Ty has been an integral part of the Recovery Elevator team, working behind the scenes to bring inspiring stories to listeners every week.
Ty's story begins with a tumultuous upbringing with an alcoholic father, leading to a life intertwined with alcoholics. Her turning point came when she realised she couldn't quit drinking despite wanting to. A heartfelt prayer for help led her to her first AA meeting, where she found acceptance and support among a group of bikers. Since then, Ty has embraced honesty and openness about her journey, finding strength in helping others and staying connected with the recovery community.
Throughout the episode, Paul Churchill highlights Ty's contributions to the podcast and their shared experiences in sobriety. With light-hearted anecdotes about birdsong in the background of her interview and her love for birdwatching, Ty's story is both touching and uplifting. Listeners will be inspired by Ty's dedication to sobriety and her commitment to helping others on their journeys. Her story reminds us that asking for help and being honest about our struggles can lead to transformative change.
So, are you ready to find your own strength and embrace a better life without alcohol?
