In this compelling episode, Tanya D., an active member of Alcoholics Anonymous, celebrates a significant milestone: 25 years of sobriety. Tanya attributes her success to the program, steps, and fellowship offered by AA, which have helped her navigate life's joys and challenges while embracing the peace that sobriety brings. Tanya begins by discussing alcoholism as a disease and how AA serves as a solution.
She emphasizes the importance of finding recovery in the supportive environment of AA meetings, where members share their experiences and offer mutual support.
