Alcoholics Anonymous taught me how to face life on life's terms. It gave me the courage to walk through the pain, to face the hurt, and to keep moving forward.
What does it take to stay sober for 36 years? Maryann G. knows all too well. Growing up in a chaotic home with an alcoholic father and a mentally ill mother, she turned to alcohol at just 12 years old to escape her turbulent reality. Despite excelling academically, her drinking continued through high school, college, and a high-flying corporate career. By her mid-twenties, Maryann's life was unraveling, and she hit rock bottom in early 1985.
That's when she found Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and began her journey to sobriety. In this episode of 'AA Recovery Interviews', Maryann shares how she used the tools of the AA program to not only stay sober but also build a successful career and a loving marriage with a fellow AA member she met early in her recovery. Her story is a testament to the power of community and the transformative effects of working the AA principles.
Maryann talks candidly about the challenges she faced, including impulsive spending and dangerous relationships, and how she overcame them with the support of her AA fellowship. Whether you're new to AA or have been on the journey for years, Maryann's story offers hope and practical insights for anyone looking to maintain long-term sobriety. Tune in to hear her inspiring tale of resilience, love, and the unwavering power of the AA community.
