I'm not what I thought I was, I'm not even close, I do not do this thing perfectly, but I do know that the selfish, self-centeredness that was my entire world is not there anymore, and I don't know if that's humble or not.
Imagine waking up on your 32nd birthday and realizing it's the start of your journey to sobriety—by accident. That's exactly what happened to Lorna, who joins Don and Sam on this episode of The Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast. Lorna, a dedicated member of the Oasis Group in Raleigh, NC, dives into her unexpected path to getting sober and the pivotal moments that have shaped her recovery since June 26, 1994.
From an eight-week stint in rehab to the humbling experience of helping clean someone’s house five years into her sobriety, Lorna’s story is filled with relatable struggles and triumphs. The chat meanders through various topics like different meeting styles, the significance of service positions, and the calming practice of meditation. Lorna also shares how mindfulness has become a cornerstone in managing her anxiety and staying on track with her sobriety.
Her candid reflections on humility and self-awareness offer valuable lessons for anyone grappling with addiction. 'I'm not what I thought I was, I'm not even close,' she admits. 'But I do know that the selfish, self-centeredness that was my entire world is not there anymore.' This episode is a heartfelt conversation that's perfect for anyone seeking inspiration or solidarity on their own path to recovery.
