Nadia S.: From War-Torn Childhood to Sober Advocate

The Second Half says we're not doctors. I'm sorry to hear that you have to endure that.
Imagine surviving the chaos of World War II, only to face a tumultuous childhood in a new country. That's the beginning of Nadia S.'s incredible journey, featured in this episode of 'AA Recovery Interviews' with Howard L. Nadia's story, originally published in the Big Book, gets a fresh perspective as she recounts her life's twists and turns. After emigrating from France to Canada post-war, Nadia endured severe abuse at the hands of her stepfather.
Her early escape came through alcohol, a crutch that later threatened to derail her promising legal career. Despite the heavy drinking that plagued many of her colleagues, Nadia managed to keep her professional life intact, even excelling in corporate governance law. But her true transformation began with AA. Through the program, she not only found sobriety but also started a new chapter of service, including founding an AA group in Ukraine.
Nadia's tale is a powerful testament to resilience and the life-changing impact of AA. Tune in to hear how she turned adversity into advocacy and why anonymity remains a cornerstone of her recovery.
