I felt like I had some confidence and that fear that had plagued me, you know, the first part of my sobriety kind of slipped away and it gave me the courage to dream bigger and to do things that I was afraid to do, and I went back to school.
Ever thought about how young people manage to stay sober amidst life's ups and downs? This episode of Sober Cast brings you four inspiring voices from the 55th Young Peoples ICYPAA Conference held in July 2013. These young adults open up about their personal battles, from family illnesses to broken relationships, all while maintaining their sobriety. One speaker shares his journey of re-engaging with AA after his sponsor stopped calling him back.
He found a sense of community and purpose through the Georgia young people's conference, proving that the steps and service are key to staying sober. Another speaker talks about leaving an abusive relationship and how sobriety helped her grow into a responsible adult. She highlights the importance of sponsorship and fellowship in her recovery. The episode also delves into the emotional challenges of dealing with family illnesses.
One speaker recounts watching her father battle lung and liver cancer, relying on her AA program and fellowship for support. Another speaker discusses losing his father to alcoholism, which strengthened his commitment to sobriety and carrying the message to others. These stories aren't just about staying sober; they're about finding purpose and making a difference through service. The speakers' experiences show how AA can help young people navigate life's hurdles and embrace a new way of living.
