"If you keep falling down, just keep getting up."
Gabby's journey is a testament to resilience and the power of community in recovery. Born in Rio de Janeiro, her early life was marked by trauma and chaos. She discovered alcohol at a young age, using it as a coping mechanism for her unresolved pain. Despite several attempts at sobriety through 12-step programs, it wasn't until two years ago that she truly committed to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).
Facing the fear of death, she poured out her last bottle and hasn't looked back since. Today, Gabby is an active member of AA, attributing her newfound joy and stability to the program and its supportive community. Her story is filled with raw honesty, touching on the difficulties of maintaining sobriety, the importance of service work, and the transformative power of sharing one's experiences.
Gabby's message is clear: no matter how many times you fall, just keep getting up and showing up. Her story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, and life beyond addiction can be more fulfilling than you ever imagined.
