I'm so grateful that Lori took me to the triangle group and that a member from the triangle group gently walked me outside after I did the I'm an and-a and walked me outside and explained to me the singleness of purpose of alcoholics anonymous.
Heather's life reads like a wild ride through chaos, addiction, and ultimately, redemption. Growing up in the 70s in a big party family, Heather had her first drunk experience at just two years old. What followed was a tumultuous journey through cutting, cough syrup, and anything else that could numb her pain. It all came to a head when she wrote a suicide note and traded her dad’s gun for enough drugs to end it all.
But fate had other plans. After an overdose, Heather had a moment of clarity she attributes to divine intervention. Instead of spiraling further, she chose honesty and walked into the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) for good. Heather now shares a sobriety date with her father’s birthday and finds joy in being her true self in any situation.
One of the most touching moments in her story is learning that her grandfather died with 42 years of sobriety, a legacy that now includes her. Heather’s story is a testament to the transformative power of recovery. She highlights the crucial role of sponsorship and working the twelve steps in her journey. Finding a sponsor who could guide her was a turning point, and the spiritual experiences she had in AA helped her see a path forward.
Heather emphasizes the importance of giving back, whether through sponsorship or simply being of service to others in the program. Her journey from addiction to serenity offers hope and inspiration to anyone struggling with similar battles. For those looking for a story of strength and resilience, Heather's testimony is a must-listen.
