"You have three choices. Total abstinence, insanity, or a violent death."
Ruth P., a speaker at the Northern Illinois Conference, shares her journey through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) with heartfelt honesty and a sprinkle of humour. Her story is one of transformation, from a life resembling Ivan, a character from Uspensky's novel, to finding hope and change through AA's 12-step programme. Ruth openly discusses her initial reluctance to join AA, driven by her family's ultimatum, and how she came to embrace the fellowship's teachings.
Her tale is filled with vivid anecdotes that illustrate the chaos of her drinking years and the gradual shift towards sobriety and spiritual growth. Ruth's reflections on her past mistakes are both poignant and relatable, as she likens herself to Ivan, who repeatedly failed to learn from his errors. Yet, AA offered her a path to change, guiding her towards a life where she can love others and live in harmony with God's will.
Ruth emphasises the importance of staying vigilant against the adversary that is alcoholism and maintaining a connection with AA's community for continued support and growth. Her journey through the steps has been slow but rewarding, teaching her the value of discipline and the joy found in doing what is right. If you're seeking inspiration or a sense of belonging in your recovery journey, Ruth's story offers both wisdom and warmth.
