Stephanie McAuliffe: Embracing New Normals in Addiction Recovery
“It sometimes takes being brought to our knees for us to finally pay attention.”
Stephanie McAuliffe has faced the shadow of alcoholism throughout her life. From childhood through two marriages, alcohol was a constant presence. In this episode of 'Families Navigating Addiction & Recovery', Stephanie sits down with host Jeff Jones to share her story and the lessons she’s learned along the way. She believes that resistance often signals a lesson waiting to be uncovered, a chance to free oneself from old patterns.
With a focus on energy and meditation, Stephanie discusses how emotional baggage can manifest as physical ailments and how healing starts from within. She emphasizes that recovery is not just for the alcoholic but for the entire family. Honesty about one's situation and role is crucial, and there’s no returning to 'normal' once recovery begins—it's about creating a new normal.
Tune in to hear Stephanie's insights on Al-Anon, the power of weekly meetings, and respecting everyone's unique journey through addiction recovery.
