On this episode of the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast, hosts Don and Sam sit down with Dorisa to unpack her incredible story. Dorisa opens up about her rocky start with AA, where she initially tried the program but didn't fully commit, even smoking pot during that time.
It wasn't until after her honeymoon that she truly embraced the path to sobriety, motivated by the havoc her drinking had wreaked on her loved ones' lives.

By giving back and staying connected to her higher power, Dorisa has found a way to maintain her sobriety and stay grounded.
