When I stopped drinking, my son was in Woodview, Calabasas Middle Hospital in Southern California, and he had just made one more suicide attempt.
Imagine walking into a room full of strangers, hoping they'll tell you that your drinking habits are normal. That's exactly what Teddi did when she first stepped into an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. Instead of validation, she found a path to sobriety that she never expected. In this episode of the 'Keep Coming Back Podcast', Teddi opens up about her struggle with alcohol and how AA played a crucial role in her recovery.
She candidly shares her early experiences with drinking, the impact it had on her relationships, and the turning point that led her to seek help. One of Teddi's most powerful revelations is how she constantly judged her insides by other people's outsides, always feeling inadequate. Her story is a heartfelt reminder that recovery is not just about quitting alcohol; it's about finding self-acceptance and forgiveness.
Teddi's journey is filled with moments of doubt and resilience, but it's the unwavering support from the AA community that helped her stay sober. She reflects on the importance of hearing 'Welcome Home' at her first meeting and how those words made all the difference. If you're looking for a story that underscores the transformative power of support and forgiveness in recovery, Teddi's experience is a must-listen.
