Join Ann from the Miracle Group in Toronto as she honestly shares her 11-year sobriety journey—complete with grief, relapse, recovery, and the small daily practices that keep her grounded. She opens up about losing both parents and her lifelong cat, the fear and anxiety that followed a childhood of constant moving, and the painful wake-up moments that finally led her back to AA. This talk isn’t about preaching—it’s about real life: the mess, the mend, and the surprising gifts that come from showing up one day at a time.

Anne walks us through the practical tools that changed everything for her: sponsors, the Steps, a home group, and leaning on a Higher Power. She doesn’t sugarcoat the hard parts—broken relationships, relapses, and deep shame—but she also celebrates the slow rebuilding of trust, especially with her daughter, and the quiet serenity that comes from daily spiritual practice.

If you’re looking for compassion, hope, and a fellow traveler’s honest map for staying sober, Anne’s story will sit with you like a comforting conversation with a friend. Whether you’re new in recovery, supporting someone you love, or simply curious, this episode offers warmth, realism, and the reminder that freedom really can come one day at a time.
