In this episode of Sober Cast, you'll hear from two inspiring speakers, Natalie and Stephen, who share their heartfelt journeys to sobriety. Natalie, with four years of sobriety under her belt, opens the episode by recounting her early struggles with alcohol, including a difficult period where she drank away a pregnancy and faced internal bleeding. Her story is one of resilience and gradual recovery, highlighting the importance of sponsorship and working the steps, even if imperfectly.
She also touches on her recent diagnosis and how she’s learning to navigate life as a disabled person with the help of a higher power. Her candidness about the challenges of staying sober during the pandemic is both relatable and encouraging for anyone facing similar struggles. Following Natalie, Stephen takes the stage with 14 years of sobriety to his name.
Growing up in an alcoholic household, Stephen’s early life was marked by chaos and a desperate need to escape through drugs and alcohol. His tale is one of hitting rock bottom multiple times, including being institutionalised after severe drug use. However, his story shifts as he finds solace and structure in Alcoholics Anonymous, working the steps, and eventually becoming a sponsor himself.
Stephen’s account is a testament to the transformative power of AA and the importance of community and service in maintaining sobriety. Both speakers offer raw, honest reflections on their journeys, making this episode a must-listen for anyone seeking hope and guidance in their own path to recovery. Tune in to hear how they turned their lives around and found peace through AA.
