Michael M. shares a heartfelt and humorous journey through her 14 years of sobriety in this episode of Recovery Radio Network. Michael, a female alcoholic, opens up about the crucial role old-timers in AA played in her recovery and expresses her hope to continue their legacy. She recounts her experiences with Al-Anon and how these interactions have enriched her understanding of alcoholism as a family disease.
Michael's story is peppered with anecdotes that range from poignant to laugh-out-loud funny, like her sponsor's dating advice: any man she dates must have a job, a car, and a place to live – but not his car! Her narrative dives into her turbulent past, marked by poverty, abuse, and her mother's alcoholism, and how these experiences shaped her self-worth and fears.
She speaks candidly about the challenges of maintaining sobriety while dealing with life's curveballs, such as her daughter's traumatic experience and her own struggles with fear and faith. Michael's tale is one of resilience, love, and the power of community in overcoming addiction. Her closing message is clear: the highest you get in AA is sober, and the key to recovery lies in love and service.
