Join us as Denise McDonald reflects on a memorable moment from her early days in recovery in the ‘Step 1 Denise Lived Experience Series’. In this episode, Denise shares her astonishment when a woman she sat next to at her very first AA meeting received a 35-year sobriety chip. Denise couldn’t fathom why anyone would want to stay sober for 35 years, a concept that seemed utterly unbelievable at the time. Yet, for some reason, this woman stayed in her mind, planting a seed of curiosity about what long-term sobriety could really mean.

Step 1 of Alcoholics Anonymous is about admitting powerlessness over alcohol, but it’s also about opening our minds to the possibilities of a life in recovery. Denise’s story highlights how the influence of others on the recovery journey can spark curiosity and inspire change, even when we don’t fully understand it at the time.
