Cindy shares a powerful journey of recovery that began after years of denial, relapse, and self-deception, despite growing up in a loving, church-centered family untouched by alcohol. From her first drink at fifteen, she chased the feeling that alcohol gave her worth and confidence, leading to decades of chaos, broken marriages, and self-justification through therapy, religion, and intellect. Even after joining AA in 1982, she struggled for seventeen years before truly understanding the Big Book and surrendering to the truth of her powerlessness. Her turning point came in 1999, when she finally grasped the nature of the allergy and loss of choice, and in 2003, under her sponsor’s direction, she followed the steps with full honesty and willingness. Today, Cindy lives in gratitude as a recovered alcoholic, anchored by faith, humility, and the daily practice of carrying the message to others.
