I think that getting sober is probably the tip of the iceberg.
Sue S has a story that goes far beyond just getting sober. In this episode of 'Sober Speak', Sue opens up about her life, starting from her youth where she felt different despite being popular. Her journey took a dark turn as alcohol became her escape, leading her to a moment where she almost took her own life. Thankfully, her family, who were also in recovery, brought her into Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).
But Sue quickly learned that sobriety was just the tip of the iceberg. Sue talks about the crucial role of service work in her recovery. She explains how giving back has brought joy and meaning into her life, helping her stay connected to the program. Sue also emphasizes the importance of sponsorship and how it has kept her grounded and growing in her sobriety.
She shares candidly about the dangers of becoming spiritually and emotionally depleted when she stops attending meetings. One of the most powerful aspects of Sue's story is her honesty about admitting faults and being truthful with herself and others. She highlights how these steps have been essential in her journey to becoming a better person.
Sue's experiences remind us that recovery is an ongoing process, filled with ups and downs, but staying connected to the program and helping others can make all the difference. Sue's story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding grace and purpose through AA. Her journey is a testament to the power of service work, sponsorship, and the steps.
It's a reminder that getting sober is just the beginning, and staying engaged with the program is key to navigating life's challenges.
