Show Notes
Join us as Denise McDonald shares a pivotal moment in the ‘Step 1 Denise Lived Experience Series’. In this episode, Denise recounts a frustrating interaction with her sponsor, who bluntly pointed out that she wasn’t participating in her recovery journey. Angry and shocked, Denise walked to her car, furious that her sponsor “fired” her. But as she sat in her car, the truth hit her hard—she wasn’t doing anything to move forward. That realization lit a fire in her, pushing her to take her recovery seriously. Shortly after, she had to take a trip, heading back to the state where she had once been homeless, living in her car.
Step 1 of Alcoholics Anonymous is about admitting powerlessness, but it’s also about taking action. Denise’s story is a powerful reminder that sometimes it takes hard truths and uncomfortable confrontations to wake us up to the reality of our situation. Her determination to prove her sponsor wrong set her on the path toward genuine commitment in recovery.
