Rosie C shares her journey to sobriety and what finally convinced her to embrace AA’s 12-step program. She recalls her initial scepticism in her late 20s, thinking she could control her drinking. However, as the consequences of her drinking worsened, she found herself scared and desperate enough to give AA another try. Rosie describes how seeing others with similar experiences but better lives gave her hope.
She was initially put off by the religious language and the concept of God in AA, but the genuine transformation in others kept her coming back. Rosie highlights the importance of getting a sponsor and following their guidance through the steps. She emphasises that taking it one step at a time, listening to those who have been through it, and having a sponsor to guide her were crucial to her recovery.
Her story is a testament to the power of the AA program and how it can bring about real change, providing tools to avoid relapse and live a fulfilling life. This episode is a must-listen for anyone questioning the effectiveness of AA or seeking hope in their own recovery journey.
