Early Sobriety Stories: Josh and Lisa's First Steps in AA

I've done a lot of things wrong in AA, but I've done one thing that I learned in that meeting, in fact, which was to wake up in the morning and ask for help and go to bed and say thank you.
Imagine stepping into a room full of strangers, each one battling their own demons, and finding a sense of belonging. That's exactly what happened to Josh and Lisa in their early days with Alcoholics Anonymous. In this episode of 'Lovely Creatures', hosts Drew and Emma invite Josh and Lisa to share their raw and riveting tales of how they found their way to AA. From the mundane to the downright bizarre, their journeys to sobriety are anything but ordinary.
Josh recounts his prosaic yet poignant path, while Lisa's story veers into the hallucinogenic. Both narratives are articulate, ironic, and at times, outrageously funny. Through their heartfelt storytelling, you'll gain insight into the transformative power of AA meetings, the vital role of sponsors, and the importance of gratitude in recovery.
Whether you're just starting your sobriety journey or supporting someone who is, Josh's advice to wake up asking for help and ending the day with a thank you is a simple yet powerful takeaway. Tune in to hear these compelling stories that remind us all of the strength found in community and the beauty of personal transformation.
