The Dry Drunk Years: Pulling the Shade Down on Every Feeling – Billie S.

About This Speaker Tape

Billie S. from Pasadena, CA, 10 years sober, speaks as the spiritual speaker. Daughter of an alcoholic, wife of two alcoholics, mother of five drug-addicted or alcoholic children.

She pulled the shade down on all feelings her whole life. Her 20-year-old son Bobby was murdered. She cursed Higher Power and drank every day.

After jail and a psych ward, she found AA through a step study for women. Her sponsor taught her to work the steps on a small tablet, turn the page, and never look back. She forgave her son's murderer when she realized she could have killed someone in her own blackouts — and the pain in her heart left and never returned.

She made amends to her ex-husband by reading a letter over his open casket. Her daughter Cindy, brain-damaged in a car accident, got sober and they healed their relationship through radical honesty.
