“The most profound thing that I learned... I used to think that alcoholism was this mental obsession coupled with a physical allergy.”
In this heartfelt episode of Recovery Radio Network, Tina A. shares her powerful journey through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Tina's story is a raw and unfiltered look into the life of someone who has battled alcohol addiction and emerged stronger. With a mix of humour and sincerity, she recounts her early days in AA, starting as the 'ashtray putter-outer' and working her way up to a more significant role within the group.
Her tale is filled with moments of vulnerability, such as when she admits to washing ashtrays before coffee cups out of spite, and moments of triumph, like celebrating 26 years of sobriety. Tina also touches on her struggle with self-image and the importance of having a sponsor to guide her through the chaos of recovery. She emphasises the value of spiritual principles and the support of the AA community in her journey.
Tina's story is a testament to the transformative power of AA and the incredible resilience of those in recovery. If you're looking for an inspiring and honest account of overcoming addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
