This episode features Hope A. from North Carolina

Hope has been sober since September 14, 1981.

Some of the insights in Hope’s story are following:

• She realized that AA could help someone who was as damaged as she saw herself.
• Every time she survived something difficult in sobriety her rachet of optimism would increase
• She realized she was avoiding AA due to some shameful behavior that resulted from an undiagnosed bipolar disorder.
• She has grown in effectiveness as a sponsor over the past 40 years.
• The importance of revisiting our illnesses other than alcoholism and addiction and the effects of medications as we get older
• She has been able to use her story to help others in a book she has written called How to Remodel a Life.
