Valerie’s story is one of chaos transformed into purpose: raised in a violent alcoholic home, she always felt different and disconnected until her first drink at 14 gave her a false sense of belonging. From stealing toys as a child to juvenile detention, treatment centers, and years of bouncing in and out of AA, her life spiraled through lies, broken relationships, and repeated relapses. Even sober, she became dangerously sick—angry, manipulative, and spiritually bankrupt—until she hit a point of utter desperation. Guided by strong sponsors who challenged her denial and taught her to fully embrace the Big Book and the circle-and-triangle way of life, Valerie discovered service, honesty, and true reliance on God. Through humility, making amends, and learning not to fight everything and everyone, she grew into a woman capable of trust, integrity, and self-support. Today, with decades of sobriety since October 13, 1992, she shares her story to show that recovery is not about perfection but about transformation through surrender, service, and spiritual growth.
