And so my sobriety, My First Two Years, was peaks and valleys. All the time I either was kind of manic and on top of the world, or I was way down here and the valleys lasted longer than the peaks did, I might add, and I wasn't enjoying life much.
Picture this: a woman reluctantly stepping into an AA meeting, not for herself but to support a friend. That’s how Lois F’s journey began. In this episode of Sober Cast, recorded at the 4th Hilton Head Mid-Winter Conference in 1984, Lois from New York City shares her compelling story of recovery. Initially resentful and skeptical, she found herself drawn into the world of AA, where she discovered a community that would change her life forever.
Lois takes listeners through her early days of drinking, marked by curiosity and a desire to fit in. She candidly talks about her struggles with blackouts and the denial that kept her trapped in a cycle of addiction. Her story is one of raw honesty and gradual acceptance, highlighting the crucial role of AA meetings and speaker sessions in her recovery. One of the most touching aspects of Lois’s story is her discussion on spirituality.
She explains how embracing a spiritual path helped her navigate the ups and downs of sobriety, offering her a sense of purpose and direction. Lois also speaks about the global reach of AA, sharing how she found 'Eskimos'—people who guided her towards sobriety—at every turn. The episode is more than just a personal tale; it’s a testament to the power of community and self-supporting groups.
Lois underscores the importance of AA’s mission and the role of Sober Cast in providing a platform for these transformative stories. Her journey is a beacon for anyone struggling with alcohol, showing that redemption is possible even when it starts with resentment. Tune in to hear Lois F’s inspiring journey and discover how AA helped her find a new way of living.
