Amy B.: From Turmoil to Triumph in Sobriety

From The Day we started that one drink, I started to lose my values, my truth, my self-esteem.
Picture a young girl caught in the crossfire of her father's alcoholism and her parents' tumultuous divorce. This was Amy B.'s reality. Her story, shared in this episode of 'AA Recovery Interviews', is a rollercoaster of early exposure to addiction, personal battles with alcohol and marijuana, and the long road to recovery. Amy's journey began with her parents' divorce, leading her to seek solace in substances from a young age.
Despite a brief stint with AA in her twenties, she spent decades grappling with addiction while raising four children and coping with her husband's worsening alcoholism. When Amy finally committed to AA, her life was in shambles. The support of AA women, offering tough love and unwavering support, became her lifeline. Amy delves into the crucial role of sponsorship, the strength found in fellowship, and the spiritual principles that guided her through the darkest times.
She also reflects on the importance of honesty and willingness in rebuilding a sober life. Amy's story is one of resilience and hope, demonstrating the transformative power of sharing one's journey. Her candid reflections offer a beacon of hope for anyone facing similar struggles.
