It's important that everyone finds their own path when it comes to taking back control of their drinking.

In this episode, Sally shares her journey to recovery and sobriety through AA. She recalls her

early exposure to alcohol at a young age and how she quickly developed a
fascination with it. As she grew older, her drinking escalated, and she found
herself immersed in the club scene, using substances to conceal her
consumption. This ultimately led her down a path of addiction and alcoholism,
where she felt the need to drink in order to function.

 

Sally delves into her experiences with different substances, including alcohol, marijuana,

and cocaine, explaining how they impacted her behaviour and social
interactions. She describes her efforts to fit in and feel a sense of
importance within her social circles. She also discusses her struggles with
anxiety, depression, and a complex relationship with faith and spirituality.

 

The turning point in Sally's story comes when she starts seeking help and enters recovery.

She shares her experiences with therapy, outpatient programs, and Alcoholics
Anonymous (AA). Sally walks us through the 12 steps of AA, highlighting the
process of self-reflection, making amends, and seeking spiritual growth. She
emphasizes the importance of a supportive community, sponsor relationships, and
regular attendance at AA meetings.
