I worked on that all through early sobriety and I have a day count for writing Every Day, which I started in New York just as I counted my sober days, and I started that in September Of And Last Night. But I published that book and I would never have started, let alone finished, let alone published, had I not been a sober woman.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after years of addiction? Meet Vicki A., who opens up about her incredible journey to sobriety in this episode of AA Recovery Interviews. Vicki's story is both heart-wrenching and inspiring, detailing her struggles with marijuana and alcohol that began in a tumultuous childhood. Growing up in a dysfunctional family fractured by divorce, she found solace in substances at a young age.
Marijuana became her primary escape, but alcohol soon joined the mix, leading her down a path of daily use that affected her ability to function as a responsible parent. Despite managing to stay employed and raise two children, her addiction eventually took its toll. Hitting rock bottom, Vicki found herself in a 12-Step program for marijuana addiction, where she also recognized her battle with alcoholism.
Through the support of Alcoholics Anonymous, she found a sponsor, worked the steps, and began attending meetings. Her story doesn’t stop at sobriety; it extends to coping with the devastating loss of a child and finding new purpose in life. Vicki's transformation is a testament to the power of recovery, showing that even in the darkest times, there is hope for a brighter future.
She even achieved personal milestones like writing and publishing a book, something she attributes to her newfound sobriety. If you're seeking a tale of resilience and redemption, Vicki A.'s journey offers valuable insights and inspiration.
