One of the gifts that Alcoholics Anonymous has given me is that I genuinely care about other people now and you know, yes, I still feel passionately about those things, but it's because I really care and I really want to make a difference.
Michele S. takes you on a raw and heartfelt journey through her struggles with alcoholism in this episode of 'Sixteenth Street Speakers'. Growing up in a family where addiction was a constant shadow, Michele’s battle with alcohol seemed almost inevitable. Yet, what stands out in her story is not just the darkness but the light she found through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).
Michele’s rock bottom was a chaotic mix of forgotten engagements and waking up in strange places, but it was these moments that pushed her towards seeking help. Enrolling in a dual diagnosis program marked the beginning of her recovery, but the road was anything but smooth. Early sobriety was tough, filled with challenges and moments of doubt. However, Michele found an anchor in AA's support system.
She speaks candidly about the importance of sponsorship and working the steps, describing how these elements were pivotal in her recovery. The unity and traditions within AA provided her with a sense of belonging and purpose. Michele also shares valuable lessons about overcoming personal biases and judgments, emphasizing the need to care for others as a cornerstone of her recovery journey.
Her story is not just about getting sober; it’s about transforming her life and finding passion and compassion along the way. Michele’s experiences are a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, and that hope can be found even in the darkest times. If you or someone you care about is struggling with addiction, Michele’s story offers inspiration and practical insights into the transformative power of Alcoholics Anonymous.
