Danielle's Journey: Finding Sobriety Through Service and Community

I rode that gravy train for so many years and it wasn't until I got into sobriety did I realize that I'm not a victim of anything.
Danielle's story is a heartfelt testament to the power of service and community in the journey to sobriety. In this episode of the 'Sober Friends' podcast, Danielle opens up about her struggles with alcohol, which began after the devastating loss of her mother to ovarian cancer when she was just 13. Feeling lost and playing the victim, Danielle found herself in a downward spiral, grappling with suicidal thoughts and an inability to ask for help.
Her turning point came when her husband got sober, inspiring her to seek help for herself. She candidly discusses the challenges she faced in finding a sponsor and the steps she took to get involved in women's meetings in prisons. Danielle shares how her misery eventually led her to sobriety and how service work became a cornerstone of her recovery.
This episode offers a raw and inspiring look at how giving back can provide a sense of purpose and aid in maintaining sobriety. Danielle's story is a powerful reminder of the importance of community, spirituality, and staying connected to others on the path to recovery.
