For me, my life this year truly became more than I could have ever imagined, and I have an amazing career.
Growing up in a family where alcohol was both a celebration and a curse, Courtney P.'s early years were anything but stable. Her teenage years saw her slipping into the same patterns, with binge drinking becoming a hidden burden she carried. At just 21, Courtney made the brave decision to check herself into an inpatient treatment center in Canada, despite her family's attempts to convince her otherwise.
This initial step into recovery was a rocky one; although she stopped drinking for a while, she struggled to fully commit to AA and found herself back in the grips of alcoholism within months. It took several more years of turmoil and hitting rock bottom before Courtney truly embraced the path to sobriety. By mid-2014, she was ready to change her life for good. Regular AA meetings, a dedicated sponsor, and working the steps became her lifeline.
Courtney also found that therapy and spirituality played crucial roles in her recovery, helping her to heal emotionally and spiritually. In this episode of 'AA Recovery Interviews', Courtney opens up about the ups and downs of her journey. She talks about the importance of not giving up before the miracle happens and how she found joy and meaning in everyday life through sobriety. Her story is a testament to the power of perseverance and the transformative impact of community support.
Whether you're struggling with your own addiction or supporting someone who is, Courtney's story offers hope and practical insights into overcoming the challenges of alcoholism. Tune in to hear how she turned her life around and built meaningful relationships along the way.
