I came into Al-Anon looking for something, one more thing that might work, something else I hadn't thought of. And if you don't know whether or not you've surrendered, chances are real good you haven't.
Ever wondered how someone finds hope and transformation in the midst of chaos? Ellen C, an Al-Anon member from Dallas, Texas, shares her candid story in this episode of Sober Cast. Speaking at an event in Santa Barbara back in 2006, Ellen opens up about her initial resistance to Al-Anon and her deep-seated longing to be someone she wasn't.
Her honesty shines through as she talks about wanting to be an alcoholic and the significant influence alcoholic women had on her life. Through heartfelt and sometimes humorous anecdotes, Ellen delivers a powerful message of surrender and the transformative nature of Al-Anon. She navigates the ups and downs of parenting, particularly her daughter's struggle with alcoholism, and finds her purpose in service work. Ellen's journey is a testament to the healing and resilience that Al-Anon can bring.
Listeners will be moved by Ellen's story of discovering her true self, overcoming challenges, and finding hope in unexpected places. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and understanding on their own path to recovery or supporting a loved one through theirs.
