Beth H: Confronting Inner Emptiness on the Road to Sobriety

For whatever reason, I just kind of slid through doing it. I went off to college because that's what you did. Where I grew up in a college town- and you know I went to college.
Imagine feeling hollow despite everything seemingly in place. Beth H, who got sober in 1988, takes us on a heartfelt journey through her struggles with alcoholism in this episode of Sober Cast. Speaking at an unspecified event, she delves into the theme of 'Empty on the Inside', a feeling many grappling with addiction know all too well. Beth's candid storytelling shines a light on the profound emptiness she experienced and how it led her to seek solace in Alcoholics Anonymous.
Beth doesn’t just share her battles; she also highlights the tools that helped her reclaim her life. She emphasizes the significance of having a sponsor, regularly attending AA meetings, and leaning on the wisdom found in the Big Book. These elements, she explains, were pivotal in filling the void that alcohol once occupied. Her narrative also touches on the ripple effects of addiction, particularly how it strains family ties and personal relationships.
Beth's story is a powerful reminder of the importance of personal accountability and taking inventory of one’s actions. Her journey is not just about quitting alcohol but about rediscovering a sense of purpose and connection. For anyone feeling lost or empty inside, Beth H’s experience offers a beacon of hope. Her insights are a must-listen for those struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is.
Tune in to hear how she transformed her life from emptiness to fulfillment, one step at a time.
