Description: Jeanette arrived in Alcoholics Anonymous convinced her life was manageable, but the steps showed her the truth and led her to a freedom she never thought possible. Jeanette S. from Naches, WA speaking at the Waitsburg speakers meeting in Waitsburg, WA - February 28th 2009 Visit our merch and help support the channel🧡 Sober Sunrise Merch Visit our website - Sober-Sunrise.com Jeanette shares a candid and often funny story about growing up spiritually confused, drinking in blackouts from the age of twelve, and eventually losing control of her life despite believing she had everything under control. After multiple overdoses, treatment centers, and losing custody of her son, she was dragged into Alcoholics Anonymous where a strong Big Book sponsor guided her through the Twelve Steps. What began with very little willingness slowly turned into real change as she learned that recovery required action, not just thinking. Through inventory, amends, prayer, meditation, and helping others, Jeanette discovered a spiritual life and a freedom she had never known before. Today she carries the message of Alcoholics Anonymous and practices those principles in every part of her life. Music: Deep by KaizanBlu
