As long as I live, I will be in the recovery room because I have had, shall we say, one of the greatest of all operations - I've had a personality operation.
Imagine finding the strength to stay sober for three decades. Holly M from Ann Arbor did just that, and in this episode of Sober Cast, she shares her incredible journey at the Arizona State Convention back in October 1985. Holly got sober in November 1954, and at the time of this talk, she was celebrating 30 years of sobriety. Her story is a rollercoaster of emotions, filled with moments of despair, hope, and triumph.
Holly opens up about the dark days before she found AA, painting a vivid picture of her struggles with self-pity and hopelessness. She speaks candidly about the early days of her sobriety, where the temptation to return to old habits was a constant battle. But with the support and accountability of the AA fellowship, Holly found the courage to keep going.
One of the pivotal points in Holly's story is her embrace of the Third Step—making a decision to turn her will and life over to a higher power. This step, she explains, was crucial in her recovery process. Holly also delves into the importance of making amends and being thorough in her efforts to heal relationships damaged by her alcoholism. Throughout her narrative, Holly emphasizes that recovery is an ongoing journey, not a final destination.
She talks about the tools and practices that have helped her maintain her sobriety over the years, offering valuable insights for anyone on a similar path. Holly's story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding hope, healing, and transformation through the principles of AA. Tune in to hear Holly M's inspiring 30-year journey on Sober Cast.
Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, Holly's story is a powerful reminder of what's possible with determination and the right support system.
