Life can still get better, even if I have a relapse, even if I drink.
Imagine facing every birthday with a mix of dread and reflection. That's how Sharon approaches her special day each year, a poignant reminder of her journey through addiction and into recovery. In this episode of the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast, hosted by Don and Sam, we dive into Sharon's compelling story. She shares how she tried countless ways to get sober before finally choosing AA over a glass of wine at a red light.
Her sobriety date, December 5th, 1981, marks the beginning of a new chapter in her life. Working in the restaurant business back then, Sharon would often book people in a blackout, hiding her drinking habits from others. Even her beer cans had a secret spot in the basement. But Sharon's story is not just about struggle; it's about finding strength and community. Her home group, Big Book, No Smoke in Greensboro, NC, has been a pillar of support.
Sharon finds solace and energy in drumming for meditation and believes deeply in the power of prayer to maintain conscious contact with a higher power. Through prayer and meditation, she seeks guidance and the strength to carry out her daily tasks. Sharon's tale is a testament to the importance of having a robust support system in recovery. She emphasizes the role of service in AA and the joy of giving back to the community.
This episode is a heartfelt narrative of hope, resilience, and the transformative power of sobriety. Tune in to hear Sharon's inspiring journey and gain insights into the essential elements that have helped her maintain her sobriety for decades.
