Returning to the rooms and the program restored the key to many doors of contentment in sobriety and enjoyment of everyday life.
Ever thought about what it really means to stay sober for decades? Julie H. has been dry for over 38 years, but her journey wasn't a straight line. In this episode of AA Recovery Interviews, Julie opens up about her long and winding road to true sobriety. For more than two decades, she was only loosely connected to the AA program, relying mostly on sheer willpower to stay away from alcohol.
This left her dry but far from happy—a state she calls 'so-dry-ety'. It wasn't until she fully embraced the AA community, attending regular meetings and diving into service work, that she found genuine contentment and joy in her sober life. Howard L. hosts this compelling conversation, guiding Julie through her story with empathy and curiosity. Julie's experiences shed light on the importance of active participation in AA and the profound impact it can have on long-term sobriety.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the deeper layers of recovery and the difference between merely staying dry and truly living a sober life.
