The freedom in my mind that has started to happen and that I have seen particularly over this last year has been just incredible.
Imagine battling a drinking problem for over 30 years and finally finding a solution in the most unexpected place. That's Chimene M.'s story, and it's one many can relate to. In this episode of AA Recovery Interviews, host Howard L. sits down with Chimene to discuss her journey from casual social drinking to recognizing her alcohol dependence and ultimately finding sobriety through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).
Chimene's tale is particularly powerful for those in their early stages of recovery or anyone who has struggled with alcohol for decades. Her initial attempts to moderate her drinking through self-imposed rules and online programs proved futile, leading her to seek help in AA. Through Zoom meetings, step work with a sponsor, and active participation in the AA community, Chimene found the support she needed to change her life.
This episode delves into the practical aspects of AA, including the benefits of online meetings, the importance of sponsorship, and the transformative power of committing to the 12 steps. It's an honest conversation that sheds light on the real challenges and rewards of sobriety.
