Wendi R. from her home group AA Solution Seekers

I believe that Your sobriety, not how dry you are, but your emotional stability, is only as good as your most recent contact with your Higher Power. Daily Conscious Contact is vital to my personal growth and remaining right sized in the world. If I do that, I can handle whatever life throws at me.

 

My old sponsor always used to say "It's easy to trust God and say you have faith, when God's plan is aligning with yours. What does your trust look like when everything appears to be falling to shit around you? How's your FAITH then?"

This is what I try to pass on to those that I carry the message of recovery to.  

I've had the honor and privilege of carry the message to this particular newcomer and I'm so grateful for all we learn together.  When Christmas 2023 rolled around, just 3 months after she celebrated one year of sobriety, life got real rough for her...and we all prayed and held our breath hoping she'd be able to lean into that Faith she was just beginning to understand.

 

It's hard enough in early sobriety to just get sober. Then there is trying to live amongst the world and all it's other members. Throw on top of that financial insecurity, relationship insecurity, a death of a loved one, loss of a job, a major life threatening health crisis, and loss of your only home??!! Sometimes life doesn't get real - it gets SURREAL. 

 

But with faith, trust, a program of action and a community behind her this lady has gone from one of the darkest times to being a shining beacon of hope and transformation for others.

 

We are so proud to call her a home group member and friend in A.A. Solution Seekers home group.

 

Here's Miss Wendi R.  (published children's author don't ya know).

 

Love and Freedom
