From Jail to Joy: Anja Angel's Road to Recovery

The message of hope and my experience and strength is what I share today: to let people know that, no matter how far down the scale you have gone... surrendering to a higher power... is what has empowered me and enabled me to work the steps and get a sponsor.
Crystal Morrell's 'Sober Onions' podcast is known for its heartfelt and raw conversations about sobriety, and this episode is no exception. Crystal sits down with Anja Angel from Michigan, who opens up about her incredible journey from incarceration to recovery. Anja's story is one of grit and determination, offering a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction. She shares how she found herself in and out of jail, even using drugs while pregnant.
It wasn't until a profound moment of clarity struck her that she decided to seek help. An encounter with a higher power while in jail became a turning point, helping her realize that she could regain control of her life. Surrendering to this newfound strength, Anja began working the steps, found a sponsor, and took responsibility for her actions. Anja emphasizes the importance of reaching out for support, even when it feels uncomfortable.
She suggests an exercise where individuals call three people a day from their contact list, breaking the isolation that often accompanies addiction. Her story also highlights the necessity of having robust support systems for those battling addiction and mental health issues. Today, Anja serves as the Executive Director of the Community Recovery Alliance and the President of Walking With Him 6, Inc. Ministry, both organizations dedicated to helping those affected by addiction.
This episode is a testament to the power of perseverance and the transformative impact of seeking help. If you or someone you know is facing similar struggles, Anja's journey might just be the inspiration needed to take that first step towards recovery.
