Ksenija P.: Triumphing Over Adversity and Alcoholism

The grace of me translating big book and getting meetings started in your native country, in your home country, did an awful lot to keep you sober over The Years and engaged with AA- sounds like a God thing.
Imagine trying to get sober in a country where Alcoholics Anonymous meetings are non-existent and the Big Book is nowhere to be found. That was the reality for Ksenija P. when she embarked on her journey to sobriety in 1992, amidst the chaos of Croatia's War of Independence. Raised in a Soviet-influenced society that largely ignored alcoholism, Ksenija's story echoes the struggles many face globally.
Starting her drinking in her teens, she found herself entangled in abusive relationships, tough marriages, and the challenges of single motherhood. Despite these hurdles, she carved out a successful career as a singer and actress across Croatia, the U.S., and beyond. However, alcoholism took its toll, eventually derailing her life and career. In this episode of 'AA Recovery Interviews', host Howard L.
sits down with Ksenija to uncover her incredible journey from the depths of addiction to 30 years of sobriety. Ksenija recounts how she hit rock bottom and was miraculously introduced to the AA program, which became her lifeline. She dives into the transformative power of sharing one's story and how her efforts in translating the Big Book and initiating AA meetings in Croatia have fostered growth and healing for many.
Through her candid reflections, Ksenija highlights the importance of anonymity, humility, and community in maintaining sobriety. Her story serves as a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting a loved one through it. Tune in to hear Ksenija's inspiring tale of resilience and recovery.
