Debbie D: 31 Years of Sobriety and Service in AA
It's my responsibility as an alcoholic to carry the message that I've been given as a result of taking these steps and living this program as a way of life that I take very seriously.
Picture this: a room filled with people on the path to recovery, hanging onto every word from a speaker who has been sober for over three decades. That's exactly what you'll find in this episode of Sober Cast featuring Debbie D, also known as Debbie H. Recorded at the Thursday Night Speaker meeting in Las Vegas back in April 2007, Debbie shares her 31-year journey in Alcoholics Anonymous with a blend of humor, honesty, and hard-earned wisdom.
She talks about the transformative power of the 12 steps, the importance of sponsorship, and the value of service in maintaining sobriety. Debbie's story is a rich tapestry of experiences, from the early days of her struggle with addiction to her current role as a mentor and guide for others in the AA community. She highlights the dangers of rationalization and comparison, urging listeners to focus on their own journey and embrace the gift of adaptability.
Through her eyes, you'll see the significance of finding similarities rather than differences, and uncovering the truth about oneself. With an emphasis on taking it one day at a time and the role of spirituality in recovery, Debbie's message is a powerful reminder that sobriety is achievable with the support of a committed community and a program of action.
