Ashley shares about her challenging upbringing in a multigenerational alcoholic family, marked by loneliness, trauma, and early exposure to alcoholism. Introduced to recovery through a caring neighbor, Ashley later found her way to Alcoholics Anonymous in 2006, where she embraced the 12 Steps and its principles. Through rigorous work on steps like surrender in Step 3, addressing rage in Step 6, and living the spiritual awakening of Step 12, Ashley transformed her life.
