You see, I'm learning to like me and I've joined the female race and I see the strengths.
Ever felt like you were constantly trying to fit into a mold that just wasn’t you? Pat B from Umatilla, Florida, knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of Sober Cast, Pat opens up about her journey through the ups and downs of life and how she learned to lean on other women for support. Recorded at an AA Women's Recovery Workshop in September 1990, Pat's story is a heartfelt exploration of self-discovery and community.
Before finding AA, Pat was stuck in a cycle of seeking approval and overachieving. She married a man who seemed to have it all, but the marriage fell apart, leading her to pursue a career as a social worker. Despite her efforts to fit societal expectations, Pat felt unfulfilled. It was in AA that she confronted her long-held perceptions about women and the deep impact of alcoholism on her relationships.
Through the support of sponsorship and the love found in AA communities, Pat discovered the importance of relying on others, especially women. Her journey is a testament to the power of community and the strength that comes from genuine connections. By embracing self-discovery, Pat found self-acceptance and love, crucial steps in her recovery and healing process. If you're looking for an inspiring story about finding strength in sisterhood and sobriety, this episode is a must-listen.
Pat’s experience reminds us all of the transformative power of community support and self-love.
