My truth today is that God always meets me at the exact moment of my need, not before, not when I think he should. And I'll tell you, there's no way to get from there to here without God.
Imagine feeling a false sense of pride in something that's slowly tearing your life apart. Claudia H knows this all too well. In this heartfelt episode of 'Sober Speak', Claudia opens up about her tumultuous journey with alcohol, sharing the highs and lows that marked her path to recovery. She talks candidly about the great losses and unexpected joys she encountered before finally deciding to stop drinking.
Claudia's story is one of resilience and hope, deeply rooted in the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). She credits her higher power and strong sponsorship for guiding her through some of her darkest moments. Seeing others face adversity with calmness gave her the strength to believe she could also achieve sobriety. Growing up in an alcoholic home, Claudia learned unhealthy coping mechanisms early on, making it difficult for her to admit her own powerlessness over alcohol.
She speaks about the challenges of blaming others for her problems and the liberating moment when she chose to take responsibility for her own life. Claudia emphasizes the importance of honesty in AA, how humor has been a vital tool in her recovery, and the role anxiety played in her addiction. She also highlights the significance of sobriety milestones and the power of regular updates to keep herself accountable.
This episode is a raw and inspiring look at one woman's journey to sobriety, filled with practical wisdom and heartfelt reflections. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Claudia's story offers valuable insights and a beacon of hope.
