Living what you just described is totally fighting, even though someone looking at it from the outside could not necessarily appreciate the work, the hard work it is to live that way, because it's hard as hell on you, keeping up with laws.
Candy's story on the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast is a gripping tale of battling addiction and finding a way out. Initially, Candy sought help from a psychiatrist to curb her drinking habits, but that route led her nowhere. Her attempts at controlled drinking also failed, pushing her deeper into despair. She even went to great lengths to hide her drinking from her husband, feeling increasingly isolated and hopeless. The turning point came when Candy checked into a treatment center.
There, she embraced the suggestions offered and found that Step 1 of the AA program had a profound impact on her. However, the journey wasn't smooth; she hit a rough patch during her 4th Step and nearly relapsed. Despite these hurdles, Candy's determination saw her through. Her sobriety date is January 14, 2012, and she now calls the Step Lively group in Greensboro, NC, her home.
This episode dives deep into themes of honesty, the power of prayer, and the significant role speaker meetings play in maintaining sobriety. Candy's story is not just about overcoming addiction but also about the importance of community and support in recovery. Whether you're at the beginning of your sobriety journey or looking for motivation to stay on track, Candy's experiences offer valuable insights and hope.
