It was just like breathing. If I was going to be awake that day, I was going to end up drunk.
Molly's journey to sobriety is nothing short of inspiring. In this episode of SoberQ, she shares her deeply personal story of getting sober at the tender age of 17 and maintaining it for eight years. Molly candidly recounts her initial struggles with alcohol, describing how it felt as natural as breathing to end up drunk every day.
Despite multiple failed attempts to quit on her own, she eventually found her way to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), where she began to see a glimmer of hope. Initially, Molly didn't find hope in her first AA meeting, but she did find a sense of belonging and a place where she wasn't judged. She vividly recalls the moment she first felt hope, listening to a woman who would become her sponsor share her own complicated yet sober life.
This woman’s grace and dignity amidst her struggles gave Molly the belief that sobriety was possible. Through regular meetings and working the 12 steps with her sponsor, Molly developed a connection with a higher power and had a spiritual experience that transformed her hope into absolute faith. This faith has been the cornerstone of her continued sobriety. Molly's story is a testament to the power of community and spiritual growth in overcoming addiction.
Her experiences highlight the importance of finding a supportive group and the transformative potential of the 12-step programme. If you're struggling with alcohol or know someone who is, Molly's journey might offer the encouragement you need to take that first step towards recovery.
