I never thought it would be possible for someone like me to go without a drink, but here I am, almost 20 years sober.

Suzanne takes the stage in this episode of Recovery Radio Network, sharing her journey through alcoholism and recovery with a mix of humour and heartfelt honesty. From her early days growing up in a large family to her tumultuous teenage years, Suzanne's story is one of resilience and hope. She recounts her experiences of running away at 14, being married to a convicted felon, and becoming a mother by 19.

Despite these challenges, Suzanne's narrative is filled with moments of clarity and the eventual realisation that she needed help. Her sobriety date, July 6, 1991, marks the beginning of a new chapter in her life, one that she never thought possible. Throughout her talk, Suzanne highlights the misconceptions she had about alcoholism and the pivotal moments that led her to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).

She speaks candidly about the struggles of maintaining sobriety, the support she received from her family, and the importance of community in her recovery journey. Suzanne's story is a testament to the power of AA and the transformative impact it can have on individuals. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, Suzanne's story offers inspiration and a reminder that change is possible.
