Julia recounts her initial scepticism and the humorous moments that kept her coming back, like naming the transport van 'ativan'.
Her story is peppered with candid reflections on the fears and misconceptions she held, which were eventually overshadowed by the support and camaraderie she found at Oak Street clubhouse. Julia also touches on the trials of finding the right sponsor and how this choice, though daunting, was pivotal in her recovery.
