I felt like my life was over and what I didn't realize it was really the beginning of my life.
Dorothy’s story is one of enduring strength and the transformative power of support. At just 16, she had her first drink—a champagne cocktail with a sugar cube—during a dinner with her friend's family. That night ended in a blackout, setting the stage for years of struggle. Her drinking escalated during her college years, derailing her dreams of becoming a nurse. Dorothy eventually left her job to stay home and drink, feeling trapped in a cycle she couldn't break.
But her story doesn't end there. Dorothy found hope and community through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), where she learned to take life one day at a time. Now, 25 years sober, she reflects on the physical and emotional toll of alcoholism and the invaluable support that helped her reclaim her life. This episode of Steppin' Out Radio offers an inspiring look at how one woman turned her life around, proving that recovery is possible with the right help and determination.
