Tuija's Australian Journey: Embracing Step One in AA

Alcoholism is a fatal and progressive illness. But there comes a time as a grown-up, as an adult- when I do need to get over it and get on with my life and stop blaming my parents. And so alcoholics anonymous has allowed me to not just be free from alcohol but to grow up...
What happens when you finally admit you can't control your drinking? In this heartwarming episode of Sober Cast, Tuija from Australia takes us through her raw and honest experience with Step One of the Alcoholics Anonymous program. Recorded at the United Kingdom Open Lounge meeting in January 2021, Tuija opens up about the grip alcoholism had on her life from a young age. She describes the emotional rollercoaster of negativity, sadness, and self-pity that came with her addiction.
After countless failed attempts to manage her drinking, Tuija reached a breaking point and decided to try something different. That's when she found AA, a community where she felt understood and supported. Through working Step One, Tuija learned to admit her powerlessness over alcohol and recognized how unmanageable her life had become. She explains how the mental obsession and physical craving for alcohol kept her trapped, but AA provided her with the tools to break free.
Tuija's story is one of hope and transformation. It's a powerful reminder that recovery is possible for anyone willing to take that first step. Tune in to hear how she found freedom and growth through the AA program.
