It wasn't until she hit a low point of feeling restless, irritable, and discontent that she surrendered to the steps and service work essential for her recovery.
With a sobriety date of July 2nd, 2010, Jodi reflects on the transformative power of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and the importance of connecting with others who share similar struggles.
