Get ready to be moved by real-life accounts of recovery in this episode featuring Alexa W., who shares her journey from the chains of addiction to the freedom of sobriety. Alexa's story is rooted in faith, as she finds strength and clarity through prayer, scripture, and her community. While she doesn't follow a traditional AA programme, her spiritual practice provides the foundation she needs to lead a lasting life of peace and sobriety.
With a sobriety date of 15th September 2019, Alexa opens up about her early years of partying and the gradual progression into unmanageable drinking. Her turning point came after a disturbing night that left her feeling violated and desperate for change. Through heartfelt anecdotes, Alexa talks about her first AA meeting, where she found support and compassion that helped her embrace sobriety.
She discusses the importance of having an escape route, the role of carbonated water in replacing alcohol, and how a chance encounter with church led her to discover her true higher power. With light humour and candid reflections, Alexa illustrates how she transitioned from living for the now to being a dependable and loving wife, mother, daughter, and sister. Her story serves as a reminder that recovery is possible with faith, community support, and a willingness to change.
So, are you ready to witness the transformative power of faith in the battle against addiction?
