Anna Fruehling's Road to Recovery and Her Unique Take on the 12 Steps
Our stories are different, but our suffering is very similar. You know, and I think that that's what addiction does to us, and so I feel like with a character rather than a real human being story, because we all know scrooge is fictional.
Picture this: you've battled addiction for decades, and then a moment of clarity hits you like a bolt of lightning. That's what happened to Anna Fruehling, co-founder of SUGARx Global. In this episode of 'Unsweetened Sio', Anna shares her transformative journey from addiction to recovery, highlighting her belief that sugar is often the gateway to other addictions. With 33 years of sobriety under her belt, Anna has dedicated her life to helping others navigate their own paths to recovery.
She discusses her new book, 'An Altered Spirit, The 12 Steps, and Ebenezer Scrooge', where she draws intriguing parallels between the classic tale of 'A Christmas Carol' and the 12-step recovery process. Anna's approach is grounded in the CARE system—Connection, Action Steps, Recovery Protection, and Education—offering a holistic framework for anyone looking to break free from addiction.
