In this aa meeting, the one thing that stuck out, the only thing that stuck out, is that, for the first time in my life, I felt like people understood my crazy for the first time ever.
What happens when you feel like you don't belong anywhere? Denise McDonald knows this feeling all too well. In this episode of 'Position of Neutrality', Joe McDonald sits down with Denise to discuss her deeply personal journey through addiction and recovery. Denise opens up about her struggles with identity and how she turned to alcohol and drugs as a way to cope with the chaos in her life. However, everything changed when she discovered Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).
In AA, Denise found a community that understood her battles and accepted her for who she was. She talks about the significance of finding a position of neutrality, which helped her take a step back from her emotional turmoil and view things more objectively. Working through the 12 steps of AA, Denise learned the power of willingness and the importance of support from others in her recovery journey.
Her story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding a new way of life and a sense of purpose in helping others. Denise's experiences offer hope and inspiration to anyone struggling with addiction, showing that recovery is possible with the right support and mindset.
