Jennifer S. shares her journey to sobriety in this episode of AA Recovery Interviews. Raised in a home where her mother's drinking was ignored, Jennifer's early exposure to alcohol set the stage for her own struggles. As a teenager and young adult, she used alcohol to cope with family dysfunction, eventually integrating it into her daily life as an attorney and mother of three. Despite managing to keep up appearances, her drinking escalated after her divorce.
Jennifer reached a turning point on Mother's Day 2022, when she realised she needed help and entered treatment shortly after. Through AA, she found a sponsor, worked the steps, and embraced the spiritual solutions offered by the program. Now, with over two years of sobriety, Jennifer's story is one of transformation and hope. Her experience is a testament to the power of AA and the importance of support and community in recovery.
Tune in to hear how Jennifer turned her life around and became a source of inspiration for others.
