Born into a chaotic and violent household, Adell S. struggled with hypersensitivity and a desperate need to escape, which led her to alcohol and later to bulimia. Despite early delusions and denial, she found her way into AA, where she was struck sober in 1989 and has remained so for over three decades. She openly discussed the trauma she endured, including childhood abuse, and how she initially believed she was irreparably broken. Through rigorous step work, sponsorship, and deep spiritual practice, she found healing, forgiveness, and a renewed sense of self-worth. Today, Adele passionately advocates for recovery through rigorous honesty, service, and meditation, urging others to embrace the 12 Steps not just as a means to stop drinking, but as a path to profound inner peace and spiritual awakening.
