Sally E. NA speaker

Sally E. shares her gripping journey from the depths of addiction to the heights of recovery in this heartfelt episode of Recovery Radio Network. Speaking candidly about her early struggles, Sally describes how she hit rock bottom in 1969, weighing just 115 pounds at six feet tall and suffering from severe physical and mental health issues. Her vivid recounting of seeing, hearing, and feeling things that weren't there paints a stark picture of her battle with addiction.

But it's not all doom and gloom—Sally's story is one of hope and resilience. She talks about the relentless anxiety she faced even after getting clean and how she learned that it didn't mean she was going crazy; rather, it was part of her recovery process. Sally also touches on the early days of Narcotics Anonymous (NA) and the challenges of starting meetings when few people showed up.

Her anecdotes about the early history of NA, including humorous tales of road rage and fistfights at conventions, add a touch of levity to her narrative. Sally's reflections on service work, the creation of NA literature, and her journey through education and professional life offer valuable insights for anyone in recovery or supporting someone who is.

Her message is clear: recovery is a journey filled with ups and downs, but with perseverance and support, it's possible to build a fulfilling life. Tune in to hear Sally's inspiring story and gain a deeper understanding of the recovery process.
