I feel like I am the luckiest person to be sober, you know, that I am lucky that I'm firmly rooted in the middle of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Leslie E. takes the stage in this episode of Sober Cast, sharing her journey of sobriety with raw honesty and a sprinkle of humour. Speaking at a meeting in Thousand Oaks, California, Leslie recounts her struggles with alcohol, her chaotic past, and the transformative power of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). From the days of using Thomas Guides for directions to her present routine of two-way prayer and meditation, Leslie's story is a testament to the resilience and support found within AA.
Leslie's anecdotes are both poignant and entertaining, like the time she stole a Cartier lighter or her experience with eye cancer. She reflects on how AA taught her to act better than she felt and the importance of taking small, esteemable actions like making her bed and calling her sponsor. Her tale isn't just about sobriety but about finding joy and purpose in everyday life.
Leslie's narrative is peppered with moments that many can relate to – the fear of getting lost without GPS, the struggle to stay sober amidst life's chaos, and the relief of finding a supportive community. She emphasises the importance of being part of AA, welcoming newcomers, and giving back to maintain the chain of support.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder that sobriety is a journey filled with ups and downs, but with the right support, anyone can find their way. Leslie's story will inspire you to embrace the process and cherish the small victories along the way. So, if you're looking for a mix of humour, wisdom, and genuine human connection, this episode is for you.
