This episode features Hope A. from North Carolina
Hope has been sober since September 14, 1981.
Some of the insights in Hope’s story are following:
- She realized that AA could help someone who was as damaged as she saw herself.
- Every time she survived something difficult in sobriety her rachet of optimism would increase
- She realized she was avoiding AA due to some shameful behavior that resulted from an undiagnosed bipolar disorder.
- She has grown in effectiveness as a sponsor over the past 40 years.
- The importance of revisiting our illnesses other than alcoholism and addiction and the effects of medications as we get older
- She has been able to use her story to help others in a book she has written called How to Remodel a Life.
