It sober. Or that I thought I needed. I mean, I'm not doing anything that I have to be ashamed of. And if I were to do something, I'm going to correct it right away because I don't like that feeling anymore.
Emily's story is one that many will find both relatable and inspiring. After losing three jobs in just one year, she reached a breaking point and admitted, 'I need major help'. Initially filled with doubt about finding a solution, Emily's journey took a transformative turn when she began reading her Big Book while still drinking. The 10th Step Promises deeply resonated with her, sparking a change that led to her sobriety on February 28, 2016.
Her home group, The Way Out in Greensboro, NC, became a cornerstone of her recovery. In this episode of the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast, hosts Don and Sam create a welcoming space for Emily to share her path from denial to clarity. They discuss the power of the 12-step program, the importance of vulnerability, and the role of community in maintaining sobriety.
Whether you're new to recovery or have been on the journey for years, Emily's story offers hope and practical insights into the process of getting and staying sober.
