Nancy shares a powerful, deeply honest recovery story that spans decades, reminding us that lasting sobriety is built on humility, service, and unwavering commitment to the basics of Alcoholics Anonymous; sober since May 23, 1971, she recounts a life once ruled by alcoholism, fear, self-pity, and shame—marked by neglect, broken relationships, and emotional despair—and contrasts it with the extraordinary life AA gave her: raising three sons, sustaining long-term sponsorship, walking through fears she never thought possible, building lifelong friendships across the world, starting meetings, sponsoring countless women, rebuilding self-worth, and finding a career that allowed freedom and balance, all while learning to trust God one day at a time; her story underscores that recovery isn’t about perfection or avoiding pain, but about showing up, staying accountable, serving others, and doing the simple work repeatedly—proof that even the most broken beginnings can grow into a full, meaningful, and grace-filled life.
