Denise's Journey: From Dry Drunk to Grateful Alcoholic

I didn't know I was an alcoholic, but I just knew I just felt it didn't feel right.
Imagine reaching the brink of despair, only to find a lifeline in the unlikeliest of places. Denise's story on the 'Keep Coming Back Podcast' is a gripping tale of transformation and redemption. With a sobriety date of April 14, 2003, Denise recounts her tumultuous journey through alcoholism and her eventual embrace of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Her candid reflections reveal a life saved not just by abstinence but by the profound gifts of sobriety: serenity, love, and peace.
Denise opens up about her early skepticism towards AA, recalling her first meeting at a beautiful beach location. Despite her initial judgmental attitude, she hasn’t had a drink since that day 17 years ago. However, her path wasn’t without its hurdles. Denise spent eight years as a 'dry drunk', a period she describes as more damaging than her drinking days. It was a dangerous time that brought her alarmingly close to suicide.
For Denise, the real turning point came when she fully engaged with the AA program. She emphasizes the importance of fellowship and sisterhood in her recovery, underscoring how these connections have been pivotal in her journey. Denise’s story is a powerful reminder of the importance of perseverance and the transformative power of AA. Her gratitude for the program shines through as she shares how it helped her find her purpose and live a fulfilling life.
Whether you're curious about sobriety, struggling with addiction, or supporting someone who is, Denise's heartfelt account offers hope and inspiration. Tune in to hear how she navigated her way from the depths of addiction to a life brimming with purpose and gratitude.
