I did not have the answers, I did not know how, I did not know what to do.
Growing up in a military family with an alcoholic mother, Angie B's childhood was anything but ordinary. In this episode of 'Sober Speak', Angie shares her deeply personal story of navigating a tumultuous upbringing and finding solace in unexpected places. Initially, books became her refuge, offering an escape from the chaos at home. But it was her serendipitous attendance at an Al-Anon meeting—mistakenly thinking it was a car-related event—that truly changed her life.
Angie delves into the different truths each family member holds and why many people don't stick with Al-Anon. She candidly discusses hitting rock bottom and the pivotal realization that she didn't have all the answers. Through her journey, Angie highlights the importance of 'sticking with the winners' and the transformative power of serving others.
Whether you're familiar with Al-Anon or new to the concept, Angie's story is a poignant reminder of the strength found in community and the enduring hope that comes from sharing our struggles.
