In this episode of AA Grapevine's Podcast, Tina joins hosts Olis and Sam to share her journey through alcoholism and recovery. Tina’s story is a rollercoaster of emotions, recounting her early days of chaotic drinking and her eventual discovery of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). She talks about how she came into AA 40 years ago, feeling like a bundle of exposed nerves, but found a way to channel that energy into helping others.
Tina's anecdotes are both heart-wrenching and inspiring, illustrating the unpredictable nature of alcoholism and the transformative power of sobriety. She recalls moments of anger and rebellion, such as storming out of meetings, and how those very meetings eventually became her sanctuary. Her story underscores the importance of community and support in overcoming addiction.
The episode also features a segment called 'Ask-it-Basket', where Sara sends in a question about AA traditions, and listener feedback from Joe, Patty, and Steve adds more depth to the discussion. The hosts also highlight the new initiative on the AA Grapevine YouTube channel, where deaf alcoholics can share their stories in American Sign Language. Tina's experiences and reflections serve as a testament to the resilience and hope that AA offers to those struggling with alcoholism.
Whether you’re new to recovery or have been sober for years, Tina’s journey will resonate with you. Ready for a dose of inspiration and some honest talk about sobriety? This episode is a must-listen.
