Full Circle: Solis R's Heartfelt Return to Toronto Gratitude

When we admit we're powerless, all of a sudden we don't have to have the power, and we can now create space for knowing and learning new things
Imagine revisiting a place that played a pivotal role in your life after three decades. In this touching episode of the SoberTexas Podcast, Solis R recounts her emotional return to the Toronto Gratitude event, 32 years after she first spoke there. The episode isn't just about a reunion; it's a deep dive into her journey through recovery, highlighting the transformative power of Al-Anon. Growing up with an alcoholic parent, Solis R faced the turmoil of co-alcoholism.
She tried everything to get her loved one to stop drinking—coercion, guilt, shame—but nothing seemed to work. Her life changed when she walked into an Al-Anon meeting. Through the program, she learned the importance of admitting powerlessness and keeping an open mind, which opened doors to new perspectives and healing. This episode is filled with heartfelt stories and powerful reflections from Solis R's 30-year journey in recovery.
She shares moving anecdotes about love, loss, and the profound impact of community support. As she puts it, "When we admit we're powerless, we make room for new knowledge and growth". This episode is a must-listen for anyone affected by addiction, offering not just stories but genuine hope and practical wisdom for the road to recovery.
