What happens when life throws you curveballs just as you’re getting back on track? In this compelling episode of 'AA Recovery Interviews', Kristy M. shares her whirlwind journey from a swift descent into alcoholism to an inspiring recovery. Her battle with alcohol lasted only five years in her 30s, but the impact was profound and swift. Trying to mask her drinking from her family and work only made things worse, leading her to a breaking point.
In 2018, Kristy decided enough was enough and dove headfirst into the AA program. She got a sponsor, worked the steps, and attended daily meetings, finding solace and strength in the community. But just as she was finding her footing, life threw her two major challenges. First, her husband suffered a debilitating stroke, making Kristy his primary caregiver. Then, in early 2020, she was diagnosed with a rare spinal cancer that left her paralyzed.
As if that wasn’t enough, the pandemic isolated her further during her treatment. Despite these immense hurdles, Kristy’s commitment to sobriety never wavered. Her story is a testament to the power of community, resilience, and the transformative journey of recovery. If you’re looking for a story that embodies strength in the face of adversity, this episode is a must-listen.
