Kindness kept her coming back... And one of the things that we get from the amazing thing that we get- that is counterintuitive, from living sober- is that we can match calamity with serenity through working the steps.
Ever felt like you're at the end of your rope, with nowhere to turn? That was Katharine's reality after battling alcoholism for two decades. In this episode of the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast, hosts Don and Sam sit down with Katharine to hear her remarkable story of hitting rock bottom and clawing her way back to life. Katharine's journey is a testament to the power of kindness and the courage it takes to ask for help.
After years of struggling, she finally found herself in an AA meeting, where the warmth and support of others kept her coming back. Her sobriety date is 14th July 2016, and her home group is Atheists, Agnostics, and Free Thinkers in Greensboro, NC. Katharine talks about how working the steps and finding humility have been crucial in her recovery.
She shares how she's learned to match calamity with serenity, even when faced with a fatal heart condition that forced her to leave her job in law enforcement. Despite these challenges, Katharine remains deeply grateful for her sobriety and the unwavering support of the AA community. This episode delves into themes of humility, surrender, and finding peace amid chaos.
Katharine's story is not just about overcoming addiction but also about the ongoing journey of maintaining sobriety and finding joy in life again. If you're looking for a dose of inspiration and real talk about the struggles and triumphs of recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
