Amanda Y. shares a heartfelt and compelling story of her journey to sobriety in this episode of Mad Dog Recovery AA Speakers. Speaking at the WSUG Quarterly Speaker Meeting, Amanda opens up about her struggles with alcohol, starting from her childhood with an alcoholic mother who gave her up to pursue her own drinking habits.
Amanda's candid recounting of her life is both raw and inspiring, as she describes feeling like a 'scared, insecure little girl' trying to navigate a world that seemed overwhelming. Her path to sobriety was fraught with challenges, including run-ins with the law and a battle with self-destructive behaviour. But it was through the support of her sponsor and the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous that Amanda found her way out of the darkness.
She highlights the importance of having a home group, a sponsor, and reaching out to others as key components of her recovery. Amanda's message is clear: sobriety is possible, and you don't have to do it alone. Her story is a testament to the power of community and the resilience of the human spirit. If you're looking for a dose of hope and a reminder that change is possible, this episode is a must-listen.
