  • サマリー

  • A tough upbringing punctuated by violence and abuse led to Aileen's early use of drugs and alcohol just to survive home life. Her difficult and dangerous relationships in adulthood were mired by alcoholism of one or both parties. Self-loathing and despair, with ideations of suicide, haunted her at every turn. Indeed, Aileen’s story looked hopeless. In the end, it took in-patient mental health treatment, private therapy, and the guidance of good mentor to guide Aileen into a variety of 12-step programs, including AA. Even then, she slipped after being sober 15 months, but came back in just a couple of weeks. Thoroughly beaten by the disease, she came back to AA in early 2009 and finally got down to seriously working the Program with a good sponsor. Like my other guests, Aileen’s story is cautionary, but quite hopeful for anyone facing the kind of challenges she faced and overcame. Today, she demonstrates her commitment to staying sober by virtue of the service she does with the women that she sponsors. Her dedication to AA can also be seen in role as secretary of the meeting in which we first met. What’s more, Aileen practices the principles of the Program in her own community by staying actively involved with organizations that address the myriad of mental health issues facing women in need. The importance of Aileen’s story cannot be understated. In this 30th interview of my podcast series, I invite you open your mind and heart for the next hour of AA Recovery Interviews with my new friend and AA sister, Aileen C. [This is an encore of Episode 30, originally released June 9, 2021]. If you’ve enjoyed my AA Recovery Interviews series, have a listen to Lost Stories of the Big Book, 30 Original Stories Missing from the 3rd and 4th Editions of Alcoholics Anonymous. It’s an engaging audiobook I narrated to bring these stories to life for AA members who’ve never seen them. These timeless testimonials were originally cut to make room for newer stories in the 3rd and 4th Editions. But their vitally important messages of hope are as meaningful today as when they were first published. Many listeners will hear these stories for the first time. Lost Stories of the Big Book is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. It’s also available as a Kindle book and in Paperback from Amazon if you’d like to read along with the audio. I also invite you to check out my latest audio book, “Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How More Than One Hundred Men Have Recovered From Alcoholism”. This is the word-for-word, cover-to-cover reading of the First Edition of the Big Book, published in 1939. It’s a comfortable, meaningful, and engaging way to listen to the Big Book anytime, anyplace. Have a free listen at Audible, i-Tunes, or Amazon.
