June G's Path to Sobriety: Hard Work, Parenting, and the Gifts of AA

The great gift that Alcoholics Anonymous has given me is the ability to change my attitude.
Imagine starting your journey to sobriety at just 13 years old. In this episode of 'Sober Speak', June G returns to share more about her remarkable story. Building on her previous appearance, she dives into the reality that recovery is a long and challenging process, but one filled with immense rewards if you're willing to put in the effort.
June emphasizes that the promises of the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) program do come true, but only through consistent hard work and dedication. One of the key messages she shares is not to let the gifts of the program lead you away from it. The skills and qualities she's developed through AA have become some of her greatest assets in life.
June also touches on the often overlooked role of women in AA's history and how these pioneering women have influenced her own journey. Parenting while maintaining sobriety presents its own set of challenges, and June candidly discusses how she's navigated this delicate balance. Adjusting her career to prioritize her family was a tough but necessary decision that she believes has made her a better parent and a stronger person.
Throughout her story, June highlights the importance of attitude shifts in recovery. She believes that a positive mindset can make all the difference in overcoming obstacles. She also talks about the value of self-supporting organizations and staying connected through platforms like podcasts, which can provide a lifeline for those in recovery. Sponsorship struggles are another topic June delves into, offering her insights on the complexities and rewards of guiding others through their sobriety journey.
June G's story is one of resilience, hope, and the transformative power of AA. It's a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and practical advice on staying sober.
