I remember waking up thinking, I'm gonna get sober, I have to get sober; I don't know what that means, I don't know what AA is, but I heard about it.
Lydia’s story is one of transformation, sparked by a family intervention and ignited by the supportive community of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Shortly after becoming a mother, Lydia's family stepped in, urging her to confront her drinking. This intervention didn’t immediately resolve her struggles, but it did plant a crucial seed of change. Lydia found herself attending her first AA meeting, where she felt an overwhelming sense of a higher power guiding her.
She recalls, 'I remember waking up thinking, I'm gonna get sober, I have to get sober; I don't know what that means, I don't know what AA is, but I heard about it. I had no idea it would mean the beginning of my entire life'. In this episode, Lydia opens up about the profound role of surrender in her recovery journey.
She talks candidly about how letting go and embracing the principles of AA helped her find peace for the first time in her life. 'I never knew a moment of peace until I entered AA', she shares, highlighting the transformative power of the program. Lydia also discusses the importance of spirituality and how it became a cornerstone of her sobriety. For anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Lydia’s narrative offers a beacon of hope.
Her experience underscores the vital impact of community and emotional well-being in the path to recovery. Whether you're in the midst of your own journey or simply seeking inspiration, Lydia’s story is a testament to the strength found in surrender and the healing power of AA.
