I'm doing big book studies, I'm get up here and speak and you think that you know I was miss sober, but I was dying inside and I didn't want to drink.
Ever wondered what it takes to bounce back after a relapse? Meet Kathy D from Atlanta, Georgia. Speaking at the 5th Tradition Group in March 2013, Kathy opens up about her tumultuous journey with addiction and recovery. Her story starts with her early encounters with alcohol and the wild college parties that followed. But it wasn't long before she realized she had a problem.
Despite her initial attempts to stay sober, Kathy found herself white-knuckling through life until she eventually relapsed, this time becoming addicted to cocaine. Kathy's story is a raw and honest portrayal of the ups and downs of sobriety. She talks about the pivotal role that sponsorship and service in Alcoholics Anonymous played in her recovery. Working the steps wasn't just a process for Kathy; it was a lifeline that helped her find a deeper sense of purpose and peace.
Her candid reflections offer a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction. One of the standout moments in Kathy's narrative is her emphasis on true ambition. For her, it's not about external success but the deep desire to live usefully and walk humbly under the grace of God. This episode is more than just a recounting of past struggles; it's a testament to the resilience and transformative power of the AA community.
Tune in to hear Kathy's inspiring journey and discover how she found her way back to a life of sobriety and service. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, Kathy's story offers valuable insights and encouragement.
