Once I can accept it and surrender to this first step, the lines of communication become alive again and I can hang in there and I can grip.
Step back to 1985 at the 35th Kentucky AA Convention, where Holly M from Ann Arbor, Michigan, shared her moving journey to sobriety. Having gotten sober in 1954, Holly's story is one of perseverance and transformation. She recounts her numerous attempts to quit drinking on her own, only to find lasting peace through Alcoholics Anonymous and the 12-step program.
One pivotal moment for Holly was accepting the first step—acknowledging her powerlessness over alcohol and the chaos it brought to her life. This acceptance led to a profound spiritual awakening, which she credits as the cornerstone of her sobriety. Holly's narrative is more than just a tale of overcoming addiction; it's a story of finding purpose and peace through making amends and living with integrity.
Her experience underscores the importance of sharing one's journey and the transformative power of community support in recovery.
