I stumbled into a women's group at the sober fellowship, and there were so many women in there you guys.
Ashley C. grew up in a small town in central Illinois, where the motto seemed to be 'work hard, play hard'. Despite managing to graduate college in four years, alcohol was a constant companion, weaving its way into her relationships and daily life. In this episode of Podcast Recovery, Ashley takes us through her eye-opening journey to sobriety. She shares the pivotal moment when she realized her drinking was a problem after starting a job where her habits became noticeable.
For six months, she tried to manage her drinking on her own, but it wasn't until she stumbled upon a sober fellowship group that things began to change. Ashley talks about the power of community and how joining a women's group within the fellowship provided her with the support she desperately needed. These women helped her see the flaws she still struggled with and offered a shoulder during tough times. Spirituality also played a crucial role in Ashley's recovery.
She emphasizes her morning prayer routine, journaling, and meditating as key practices that kept her grounded and focused. Her story is a testament to the importance of connection and flexibility in recovery. Ashley encourages others to be open to different methods and not to set rigid expectations for themselves. Her journey highlights the significance of having a supportive network and the courage to keep moving forward despite setbacks.
Tune in to hear Ashley's inspiring story and discover how spirituality and fellowship can pave the way to a healthier, happier life.
