Walking into alcoholics anonymous was the most uncomfortable thing I had ever done in my life, and it was that way for a long time, because I didn't belong there in my mind. But anyway, what those women had was enough to get me back to another meeting.
Imagine finding yourself at the first-ever SCYPAA Conference in Santa Cruz, California, back in 1989. Kathy T from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, takes the stage to share her raw and honest journey through addiction and recovery. Her story is not just about overcoming alcoholism but also about finding strength and hope through the support of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and a higher power.
Kathy opens up about her early struggles with sobriety, feeling out of place in AA meetings and grappling with the reality of her addiction. She credits the women in her meetings for lifting her up and giving her the courage to keep going. Their support was crucial in her journey, highlighting the importance of community in recovery. One of the standout points in Kathy's story is the value she found in attending AA meetings.
She talks about how hearing others' stories and sharing her own experiences helped her feel less alone and more understood. Kathy also touches on the progressive nature of alcoholism, emphasizing the need for ongoing spiritual work to maintain sobriety. Faith plays a significant role in Kathy's recovery. She discusses how leaning on a higher power helped her navigate the challenges of sobriety.
Making amends is another key aspect of her journey, as it allowed her to heal relationships with her family and loved ones. Kathy's story is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction. She encourages listeners to stay committed to their path to sobriety and trust in a higher power to guide them. Her message is clear: recovery is possible, and there is always hope for a brighter future.
