My bottom, my emotional, spiritual, financial bankruptcy, dropped me to my knees in where I didn't know how to pray. But I guess he heard me, and you guys aren't afraid to talk about God here.
What does it take to truly start a journey of recovery? In this episode of Sober Cast, Piper G, sober since 2009, shares her heartfelt story from the Broken Elevator meeting in Connecticut. Piper dives into the significance of Step 1 in her recovery process, detailing how admitting powerlessness over alcohol set her on a transformative path.
Her candid discussion covers the emotional, spiritual, and financial lows she faced, and how hitting rock bottom pushed her to seek help and embrace a higher power. Through raw honesty, Piper reveals the challenges of rationalizing addictive behaviors and the isolation it caused. Yet, through the support of AA's community, she found a common solution and a sense of belonging. Piper emphasizes the importance of finding a sponsor and a home group, which have been crucial in maintaining her sobriety.
She also touches on how past traumas influenced her addiction and how her recovery journey has given her a sense of purpose and a way to help others. This episode is a powerful reminder that sobriety is a continuous journey requiring patience, perseverance, and a supportive community.
