I have a lower power, and my lower power is the things that want to kill me, and that is addiction, that is drugs and alcohol.
Imagine hitting rock bottom after a DUI, only to find your drinking spiraling even further out of control. That's where Michelle found herself, six months post-DUI, before she turned to Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) and eventually Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) for help. On this episode of the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast, Michelle sits down with hosts Don and Sam to share her candid and heartfelt story of battling addiction and finding a path to sobriety.
With a sobriety date of June 18, 2018, and her home group 'Keeping It Green' in Greensboro, NC, Michelle opens up about the ups and downs of her journey. She discusses the importance of mental healthcare, self-awareness, and community support in her recovery. Whether she's agnostic on her best days or atheist on her worst, Michelle's story is one of resilience and hope.
Plus, there's an unexpected and amusing tale about a goat dealer that adds a touch of humor to her narrative. This episode isn't just for those in recovery; it's for anyone seeking understanding and insights into the complexities of addiction and mental health.
