My friend, who was one of the recovered alcoholics who guided me through the 12 Steps & who we will call, "Mrs. Jones," shares about her experiences drinking, getting sober and today, a recovered alcoholic. She explains some misconceptions and some confusions about Alcoholism, AA and The Big Book through her own experience. Her Cat , ‘Netty’ will often chime in during the interview. 😆 Some examples of what you will hear: ~Triggers - "dangerously underestimates what it means to have an alcoholic mind... " ~"Mrs. Jones." ~What it means to be recovered (vs. recovering) ~If reason and logic keep her away from the first drink.
