In this heartfelt episode of the 4th Dimensioners Podcast, hosts Marc C and Jessica M sit down with Kristine, who shares her transformative journey from a life shadowed by alcoholism to one of clarity and connection. Kristine candidly discusses her initial reluctance to associate with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) due to negative perceptions and how online meetings and the support of her sponsor, Diane, became crucial in her recovery.
She navigates the rollercoaster of self-consciousness and validation, faced the harsh reality of relapse, and eventually found strength and support within the online sobriety community. Her story is filled with raw honesty and touching moments that will resonate with anyone who has faced similar struggles. Kristine opens up about growing up in a household where alcohol was romanticised, leading to her own battles with addiction.
She shares how she masked her insecurities and feelings of inadequacy with alcohol, which ultimately led to decades of destructive behaviour. The turning point came when she discovered online sobriety meetings, which provided her with a sense of belonging and support. Kristine's journey is a testament to the power of community and the importance of finding a support system that works for you.
Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the journey, Kristine's story offers hope and inspiration. Tune in to hear her honest reflections and the profound impact that sobriety has had on her life.
