Episode Title: A Shot Glass of Recovery: Chapter 7 - Working with Others....the never ending chapter!
In Episode 39 of A Shot Glass of Recovery, we dive into Chapter 7 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous—Working with Others (pg. 99).
 
A stark reminder that we do not need to keep our family, our jobs, our money in order to get sober...in fact, some of us need to lose it ALL before we become truly willing to surrender.

Sometimes, life feels like a whirlwind of chaos, doesn't it? Kelley's story is a testament to the unseen battles many face behind the closed doors of addiction and alcoholism.
From the pressures of trying to please an abusive mother, to her struggles with mental health issues, and closeted drinking. Her story is like so many others.
When one day we stop hiding from those that love us and ask for help - the door to healing can finally be unlocked.

Wesley's story is one of resilience, hope, and transformation in the face of adversity. Living in the heart of one of Kenya's ghettos, she found herself grappling with the initial uncertainties brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the hardships of lockdowns. The pandemic not only posed physical health risks but also mental and emotional challenges that seemed insurmountable. Yet, in the face of these overwhelming obstacles, Wesley chose a path of recovery. 
 
God kept doing for her what she could not do for herself. She tells her story here.
