Get the buttons here!Cookie and Alan W: Stories of Strength and Sobriety
It's took a fellowship for over years, all around the world, like she said, and it's still growing, it's still saving lives, and I just think it's up to us we lead by example.
What happens when two people from different walks of life share their raw, unfiltered journeys to sobriety? You get an episode like this one, featuring Cookie and Alan W at the Nassau Counties 38th Annual SENY Convention in Rye Brooks, NY. Cookie kicks things off with a candid account of her struggle with addiction and the turning point that led her to AA.
She speaks openly about her initial attempts to tackle her drinking problem alone, and how it wasn't until she found herself in detox that she discovered the life-changing support of AA meetings. Her story is a testament to the power of community and the importance of seeking help when you need it most. Alan W follows with his own powerful narrative, sharing how AA became his lifeline.
He delves into the concept of 'singleness of purpose', a cornerstone of AA's philosophy, which emphasizes that the primary goal is to help alcoholics achieve sobriety. Alan's reflections underscore that while AA may not be for everyone, for those who identify as alcoholics, it offers invaluable support and guidance. Both speakers highlight the transformative impact of AA meetings, illustrating how being part of such a community can make all the difference in the journey to sobriety.
This episode is a compelling reminder that no one has to face addiction alone. Whether you're struggling yourself or supporting a loved one, Cookie and Alan's stories offer hope and inspiration.
