I could take those same skills and take them to work with me or in my family. Today we also have three grandsons and one brand-new granddaughter, and I can tell you that I am a Gigi Today, and that's not anything I ever knew I wanted to be, but it's the best gig I've ever had.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after hitting rock bottom with alcoholism? Angie M's story on 'Sixteenth Street Speakers' is a raw and inspiring account of just that. From a young age, Angie saw herself as 'selfish and self-centered in the extreme', long before she ever touched alcohol. Despite growing up in a home where drinking was forbidden, she sought out people who would enable her, believing that her drinking made her 'cool and mature'.
This misguided belief led to strained relationships and a faltering career, eventually pushing her to seek help from Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Angie's journey to recovery wasn't a walk in the park. She talks candidly about her initial resistance to the AA program and the challenge of finding a sponsor who could guide her through the twelve steps. But it was the support of her AA community and her faith in a higher power that ultimately helped her overcome addiction.
Today, Angie is not just a proud grandmother but also a sponsor who lives by the principles of AA every day. Her story is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction. Angie emphasizes the transformative power of having a sponsor, connecting with a higher power, and diligently working through the twelve steps. Her journey is proof that recovery is possible and that life in sobriety can be incredibly fulfilling.
As she says, 'I could take those same skills and take them to work with me or in my family'. Angie's tale is a powerful reminder that no matter how dark things may seem, there is always a path to light and purpose.
