What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? This episode of Recovery Radio Network brings together Kathy B. from New Jersey and Pauline W. from Kentucky, who share their journeys with honesty, vulnerability, and a sprinkle of humour. Kathy opens up about her past struggles with honesty, both with herself and others, and how her involvement in Al-Anon helped her realise the importance of sincerity in recovery.
She talks about the joy she once found in manipulating situations and how she's now living a more honest life, even if it means admitting she's only at 98%. Pauline, on the other hand, delves into her past as a people-pleaser, driven by the need for approval. She shares how the Al-Anon program helped her discover her true self, learning to say what she means without saying it mean.
Both speakers highlight the importance of understanding one's feelings, addressing fears, and embracing honesty as a path to healing. Their stories remind us that recovery is not just about abstaining from substances but also about nurturing a healthier relationship with oneself and others. Are you ready to embrace your own truth?
