But it's about recognizing, it's about looking for my part, because I think that's for me, that's a big solution- is when I get screwed over, I have to find out what my part is in it, and then by changing my attitude...
Picture this: a doctor who wakes up at 4AM, only to find herself prescribing sleeping pills to dodge morning drinking. That's Tommie's story. In this episode of the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast, hosts Don and Sam chat with Tommie, a doctor who battled alcohol addiction for years. She recounts how clients would literally step over her passed-out body in bars and how blackouts were a frequent part of her life.
Tommie attended her first AA meeting in 1985, initially to 'help clients,' but it took her a couple of years to realize she was the one who needed help. Now, with 31 years of sobriety under her belt, she attends meetings daily and has found a home group in Jamestown, NC. Tommie shares her practical tips for staying sober, the perils of prescription drug abuse, and the critical role of self-reflection and honesty in recovery.
She also highlights the importance of community and a higher power in overcoming addiction. If you're looking for an inspiring tale of personal responsibility and finding peace in recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
