If you’re out there suffering, know you’re not alone, there is a solution.
Carla W.'s story is a remarkable tale of resilience and wisdom. Married at just 17 and sober by 27, Carla has navigated a life filled with challenges and triumphs. Now, with over 30 years of sobriety under her belt, she brings a wealth of experience and calm wisdom to her journey. In this episode, Carla opens up about her early exposure to alcohol and how it impacted her relationships and family life.
She candidly discusses the struggles she faced in early sobriety and how finding the right group and sponsor made all the difference. Carla emphasizes the importance of having a sobriety date, a home group, and a sponsor—three pillars that have kept her grounded in Alcoholics Anonymous. Her story is not just about getting sober but also about making amends and being a present mother to her two sons in the military.
Carla also shares a powerful message for those still struggling: 'If you’re out there suffering, know you’re not alone, there is a solution.' She acknowledges that while AA isn't the only way to get sober, it's a tool that has worked wonders for many, including herself. This episode is a heartfelt blend of inspiration, practical advice, and hope.
Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Carla's story offers valuable insights into the transformative power of community and the AA program.
