Just don't give up. Keep trying. Keep trying. Don't give up. I heard it through the grapevine.
Imagine picking up a book and seeing your life mirrored in its pages. That's what happened to Kathy when she first read the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous.

She talks about how reading the Big Book in just two days made her realize, 'this is me, this is me'.
Her copy of the book is now well-worn, marked up, and held together with tape, a testament to her ongoing relationship with its teachings. Kathy also opens up about the unfiltered honesty she found in AA meetings and how crucial it was for her to find the right sponsor. This episode isn't just about Kathy's personal experiences; it’s a deep dive into the power of community and storytelling within AA.

Hosts Don and Sam guide this heartfelt conversation with their usual blend of humor and empathy, making it a must-listen for anyone on their own path to recovery or supporting someone who is. Whether you're familiar with AA or new to its principles, Kathy's story is a powerful reminder of the strength found in honesty and community.
