Gabi's Road to Recovery: From Homelessness to Hope
I do think the fact that I kept relapsing but kept sticking close to the program made my relapses a lot less fun.
Imagine being homeless, panhandling to get your car back, and struggling to stay sober. That's where Gabi found herself before she turned her life around. In this episode of the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast, hosts Don and Sam sit down with Gabi to explore her incredible journey from the streets to sobriety. Gabi spent a year and a half picking up white chips, a symbol of her attempts to stay clean.
These chips kept her connected to the program until she was truly ready to commit. Her story is raw and real, touching on the chaos of unmanageability and the turning points that led her to a better life. Gabi opens up about stalking her second sponsor and how sponsorship played a crucial role in her recovery.
She also shares a unique spiritual music playlist that helped her through tough times, featuring songs like 'Fire and Rain' by James Taylor and 'Let It Be' by The Beatles. Throughout the conversation, Gabi emphasizes the importance of prayer and meditation in maintaining her sobriety. Whether you're new to AA or have been on the journey for years, Gabi's story is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit.
Tune in for an episode filled with honesty, hope, and a bit of humor as Gabi shares her path to recovery.
