Angela C: Finding New Energy in Long-Term Sobriety
Recovery is far more encompassing than just one part of us. These daily practices, the accountability to a sponsor, to another alcoholic, to another human being, if we are willing to put in the work, we are willing to have these. It's not the great big earth-shattering things in my life that have given me the best moments beyond my wildest dreams in my recovery.
Angela C has been sober for 24 years, but her journey is far from over. In this episode of 'Life Beyond Our Wildest Dreams', Angela sits down with host Denise M to talk about how she navigates the ups and downs of long-term recovery. From the challenges of complacency to the unexpected benefits of virtual meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic, Angela shares how she keeps her recovery fresh and meaningful.
Recently retired, she discusses the importance of maintaining structure and staying accountable to her sponsor and fellow alcoholics. Angela also opens up about managing anxiety and depression, drawing inspiration from her mother Monica, who remained dedicated to service until her last day. If you're looking for a story that combines practical advice with heartfelt inspiration, this episode is a must-listen.
