Katie F. on the Slow and Steady Path to Sobriety
I know that it s just Today that counts. We all think about that, but it s a practice of trying our best to just be focused on Today.
Ever wonder why sobriety doesn't happen overnight? Katie F. from Philadelphia knows this journey all too well. After spending over a decade in the grips of alcoholism, she found her way to the rooms of AA. In this episode of the Daily Reflection Podcast, Katie dives into the January 13th reflection and shares her story of finding gratitude and willingness through her previous struggles.
She talks about how the steps, the program, and the fellowship have transformed her life, but emphasizes that it’s a daily effort. Katie's story is a powerful reminder that sobriety is a gradual process, not a quick fix. She candidly discusses how, once the fog of alcoholism lifted, she was confronted with the mess her life had become—family issues, financial troubles, and old religious hang-ups.
Yet, through working the steps and maintaining her spiritual condition, she found a way to resolve these problems one day at a time. Tune in to hear Katie's inspiring journey and how she continues to stay sober by focusing on the present moment.
