Deb M. takes the mic in this heartfelt episode of Recovery Radio Network, sharing her journey through the ups and downs of life with alcoholism and co-dependency. Speaking candidly from her experiences in 1995, Deb opens up about growing up in an alcoholic home, her struggles with silence and conflict, and how these early experiences shaped her adult life and relationships.

With a mix of humour and raw honesty, she paints a vivid picture of her past, including the tumultuous times in high school and her early marriage to Bill, where control and manipulation were constant companions. Deb recounts her initial reluctance to accept help, her journey through Al-Anon, and the transformative impact it had on her life.

She shares anecdotes about her stubborn nature, her battles with personal hygiene during isolation, and the moment she realised she needed to face her problems head-on rather than running away. Her story is a testament to the power of support groups and the strength found in vulnerability. Listeners will find themselves drawn into Deb's world as she describes the challenges and triumphs of maintaining sobriety and finding peace within herself.

Her reflections on the importance of community, the miracles she's witnessed through Al-Anon, and the deep gratitude she feels for the programme's support offer hope and inspiration to anyone on a similar path. Why should you tune in? Deb's story is a reminder that recovery is a journey filled with setbacks and breakthroughs, but with the right support, it's possible to find healing and happiness.

Her authenticity and resilience shine through, making this episode a must-listen for anyone seeking solace and strength in their own recovery journey.
