Leah B. on Finding Joy in Sobriety as a Young Person

I'm really grateful for the opportunities that I've had sober.
What does it feel like to embrace sobriety at a young age? Leah B. opens up to hosts Don and Sam about her unique journey in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) in this episode of AA Grapevine's Podcast. Leah, whose article 'Open For Business' is featured in the September issue of Grapevine, dives into the highs and lows of being a young person in AA.
From starting a young persons' group to navigating the tricky waters of making amends, Leah shares it all with honesty and a touch of humor. She candidly discusses her initial hesitation to join the podcast due to anonymity concerns, but eventually, her desire to help others won out. Leah emphasizes the vital role of sponsorship in her sobriety journey, revealing how her sponsor guided her through challenging times.
She also touches on the benefits of sobriety, especially during tough periods like the pandemic, and how the wisdom of older AA members has been a cornerstone in her recovery. This episode offers a refreshing perspective on young people in recovery and is packed with insights that can inspire anyone on their path to sobriety. Whether you're young or old, Leah's story is a testament to the transformative power of community and support in overcoming addiction.
