I am changing my story now and I would love to be an inspirational speaker and somehow share this with the world.
Imagine being sober for over four decades. That's Kami S's reality. Hailing from Lakewood, New Jersey, Kami has been on this journey since September 7, 1981. Her story, shared on the 'Seasons of Sobriety' podcast, is a rich tapestry of struggles, triumphs, and unwavering commitment to staying sober. Kami opens up about her early days in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), where she forced herself to speak despite feeling uncomfortable.
She wrestled with the idea of a higher power but eventually found solace in nature. One of the standout aspects of Kami's story is her emphasis on fun in sobriety. She talks about creating a baseball league with other recovering addicts and alcoholics and making a poster to explain AA's upside-down triangle concept. For Kami, being of service is crucial. She got involved in AA's history and archives meeting, bringing valuable information back to her district.
Emotional sobriety is another cornerstone of Kami's journey. She took a writing class during the pandemic and attended an emotional sobriety workshop, both of which helped her tackle personal challenges. Kami dreams of becoming an inspirational speaker to help others in their recovery. Throughout the episode, Kami busts some common myths about sobriety. She stresses that nobody truly knows what's happening in our minds and that assumptions can lead to unnecessary suffering.
She also shares how 'The Four Agreements' by Don Miguel Ruiz has been instrumental in her journey, helping her avoid making assumptions and find inner peace. Kami's story is a powerful testament to perseverance, hope, and the joy of service. Her reflections offer valuable lessons for anyone on the path to sobriety, showing that it's possible to overcome addiction and find purpose and happiness.
