Until I sat down in a chair in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous, I didn't know how much alcohol was compromising my life. These are powerful moments because that's when life changed.
What happens when someone goes from refusing to label themselves as an alcoholic to becoming a passionate advocate for Alcoholics Anonymous? In this episode of 'Breakfast with an Alcoholic', Randall sits down with Aviva to explore her remarkable journey. Aviva candidly shares her teenage years, marked by exposure to addiction and a deep sense of insecurity. Alcohol initially seemed like the perfect escape, but it soon took over her life in ways she hadn't anticipated.
Aviva opens up about the moment everything changed – sitting in an AA meeting and finally admitting she had a problem. That admission was a turning point, leading her to find a sponsor and dive headfirst into the 12 steps. Within her first year of sobriety, she was already mentoring others, a testament to her commitment and growth. But it's not all heavy stuff.
The episode also features the fun 'Alcoholic Lightning Round', where Aviva reveals her whimsical superpower of time travel and her friends' descriptions of her as powerful, creative, and loving. And if you ever wondered who would answer 'everybody Wang Chung tonight' to a song lyric challenge, now you know. Whether you're on your own path to recovery, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the transformative power of AA, Aviva's story is sure to resonate.
So grab a cup of coffee and join Randall and Aviva for an honest, heartfelt conversation about addiction, recovery, and finding one's true self.
