I believe that that's god doing for me, what I couldn't do for myself, because it kept me on my knees.
Ever felt like you're constantly trying to fit in, only to lose yourself in the process? In this heartfelt episode of 'The Recovery Show', Corrie L. opens up about her struggle with addiction and the lengths she went to be accepted. From choosing a college based on appearances to wielding a fake ID for popularity, Corrie's story is one many can relate to. But it’s not just about her past; it's about her transformation through Al-Anon's 12-step recovery program.
Corrie takes us through her journey from Maine, where she met her husband, to the dark times when his drinking spiraled out of control. She talks candidly about her need to be needed and how that belief kept her in a toxic cycle. Her turning point came with Al-Anon, where she learned to take responsibility for her own recovery. With the help of a sponsor, Corrie discovered the power of forgiveness and self-care.
She also emphasizes the importance of facing one's feelings, a challenge she continues to navigate. This episode isn't just a story; it's a testament to the strength found in vulnerability and the transformative power of Al-Anon's principles. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Corrie's open talk offers valuable insights and hope.
