Owl 039 Molly

Ever wondered how someone balances a creative career with the demands of sobriety? Meet Molly, a musician who shares her compelling journey on this episode of the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast. Molly opens up about her DUI in 2002, a turning point that led her to embrace sobriety just two months later. But the seeds of recovery were planted even earlier by a boyfriend who lived the AA program, showing her what a sober life could look like.

Now, with years of sobriety under her belt, Molly is back to performing music, but this time with a clear mind and a renewed spirit. She candidly discusses the unique challenges of performing sober and how she navigates the pressures of the music scene without alcohol. A key part of her recovery has been Step 3 and the St. Francis prayer, which she finds particularly grounding amidst today's turbulent political climate.

Molly also highlights the importance of seeking to understand others in recovery, rather than just being understood, especially when facing aggressive comments. Her story is filled with practical insights from attending both men's and women's meetings and even leading jail meetings. Whether you're new to sobriety or a seasoned veteran, Molly's experiences offer valuable lessons and a dose of inspiration.
