I think that's what you work on in Al-Anon- is it's attraction, not promotion, letting go, letting go of, uh, that you have control over other people?
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to navigate life with an alcoholic parent and spouse? In this episode of 'The Unruffled Podcast', hosts Tammi Salas and Sondra Primeaux sit down with Jill Henning, a sober mom and marketing consultant from Phoenix, Arizona. Jill opens up about her journey through the turbulent waters of growing up with an alcoholic parent, marrying an alcoholic, and eventually finding solace in Al-Anon.
Her story takes a significant turn when she decides to confront her own drinking habits, leading to her sobriety in 2017. But Jill’s tale isn’t just about overcoming addiction; it’s also about embracing creativity as a lifeline. She shares how activities like thrifting and refinishing furniture have been instrumental in her recovery process. The conversation also takes a fun twist as Jill reveals her surprising love for 90’s rap and her impressive dance moves.
This episode is a rollercoaster of emotions, blending moments of deep reflection with lighthearted anecdotes. It underscores the importance of emotional sobriety, the power of face-to-face interactions, and the beauty of attraction rather than promotion. Whether you’re on your own sobriety journey or supporting someone who is, Jill’s story offers hope, resilience, and a reminder that creative outlets can be a powerful tool in recovery.
