Young and Sober: Alison's Journey Through AA

The principles of recovery, the traditions of recovery- all of it in some form or fashion, is the solution in my life, which is what I was always looking for.
Imagine facing the challenges of sobriety while still in your youth. In this episode of the AA Grapevine's Podcast, Alison opens up to hosts Don and Sam about her path to getting sober as a young person. She dives into the hurdles she faced, from societal pressures to the skepticism of friends who doubted her alcoholism. Alison's story is a candid exploration of the trials and triumphs of early sobriety.
She shares how crucial the second and third steps of AA were in her journey and highlights the importance of regular meetings for maintaining sobriety. One of the standout moments in this episode is Alison's advice on preparing to leave social situations if they become too challenging. Her experiences shed light on the practical aspects of staying sober and the emotional resilience required to overcome addiction.
Whether you're young and struggling with alcohol or supporting someone who is, Alison's story offers valuable insights and a beacon of hope.
