In this episode of the Keep Coming Back Podcast, Eden S. shares her raw and heartfelt journey from struggling with food, alcohol, and relationships to finding solace and stability in the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Born into a high-profile family in New York City and raised in Los Angeles, Eden faced unique pressures that compounded her struggles with addiction. Her story is one of resilience and the transformative power of AA's 12-step programme.
Eden's candid recounting begins with her early battles with food addiction, hiding snacks in her closet for comfort. As she grew older, alcohol and unhealthy relationships took over as her means of escape. Despite the chaos, Eden found a path to recovery through AA, embracing the set-aside prayer and serenity prayer to guide her daily life.
Eden's narrative is filled with poignant moments, like her realisation that true safety and answers don't lie in external sources like food or alcohol but in a higher power. Her father's wisdom and her mother's recovery journey also play significant roles in shaping her path. Eden's commitment to sobriety is evident as she discusses her decision to avoid relationships during her first year of sobriety and her dedication to working through the 12 steps with her sponsor.
Eden's story is not just about personal recovery but also about breaking the cycle for her children. She reflects on the impact of her past behaviour on her kids and her determination to lead by example now. Her message to those still suffering from addiction is clear: seek help, don't isolate, and trust in the process of recovery. This episode is a testament to the power of vulnerability, community, and the unwavering support found within AA.
Eden's journey offers hope and practical advice for anyone struggling with addiction, making it a must-listen for those seeking inspiration and guidance on their path to sobriety.
