Donna H: From Convent Life to Conquering Alcoholism

I had a spiritual awakening and I knew that I had to get sober. I had to get honest and I had to get rid of my secrets.
Ever wondered how a nun might grapple with the throes of addiction? In this captivating episode of Sober Cast, Donna H from Santa Monica, CA, takes us through her unique journey of battling alcoholism while living a life dedicated to faith. Recorded at the 3rd Annual Inland Empire Convention in November 1990, Donna's story is both heart-wrenching and inspiring.
Donna opens up about the double life she led, teaching her fellow nuns how to drink flaming hookers while secretly struggling with her own addiction. The juxtaposition of her sacred vows and her hidden vice paints a vivid picture of the internal conflict she faced. Her candidness about the moment she finally admitted her problem and sought help is a testament to the power of honesty in recovery. Spirituality played a crucial role in Donna's path to sobriety.
As someone deeply rooted in faith, she found that reconnecting with her spiritual beliefs provided the strength she needed to overcome her addiction. Her journey underscores the importance of spirituality in recovery, offering a beacon of hope for anyone feeling lost or isolated by their struggles. Donna's story is a poignant reminder that no matter how challenging the road to recovery may seem, it is always possible.
Her experiences highlight the transformative power of admitting one's struggles and embracing spirituality as a source of strength. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and hope on their journey to sobriety.
