I wake up and I have love in my heart and that is my life.
Ever wondered what it’s like to stay sober for over four decades? In this episode of 'Life Beyond Our Wildest Dreams', Denise M. sits down with three incredible women – Renee, Meg, and Jill – who each have more than 40 years of continuous sobriety. Their stories are a testament to the power of friendship, sponsorship, and the unyielding spirit of recovery.
Renee, who has been sober for 49 years, lives in New Mexico and sponsors Meg, who is celebrating 45 years of sobriety. Meg, in turn, sponsors Jill, who will mark 41 years in December. Despite living in different states, their bond has remained unbroken since they first met in Naples, Florida, back in 1981.

They highlight how their paths crossed and how they’ve supported each other through thick and thin. The episode brims with heartfelt anecdotes and the wisdom they've gained over the years. Their stories remind us that recovery is not just about abstaining from alcohol but also about building a fulfilling life filled with gratitude, love, and joy. Whether you’re on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a treasure trove of inspiration and hope.
