Laura S.'s Journey: From High School to Healing with AA

Sometimes I'm deeply connected and sometimes I'm not connected... staying in relationship with people through the hard things all relationships have harms, sober or not, and being able to continue to show up with an open heart has been my actual amends work for me.
Ever wondered how someone finds their way to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) at a young age and stays the course? Laura S. shares her unique story in this episode of AA Grapevine's Podcast.

She reflects on the freedom she found in being her true self and the profound impact AA has had on her life.

From serving in the military to battling depression and suicidal thoughts, Laura discusses the importance of making living amends and maintaining relationships through tough times.
