Ever wondered what it takes to truly break free from the shackles of alcoholism and rebuild a life filled with hope and love? Jan C. from Houston, Texas, shares her remarkable journey on Recovery Radio Network. With a blend of humour and heartfelt honesty, Jan recounts her experiences growing up in an alcoholic family and the impact it had on her life choices.
She talks candidly about marrying alcoholics, raising children in a chaotic environment, and eventually finding solace in Al-Anon. Her story is a testament to the power of support groups and the healing process they offer. Jan's tale is peppered with amusing anecdotes, like moving her husband's car as a form of retribution and nailing pork chops to the garage door in frustration.

As Jan navigates through her family's struggles, she emphasises the role of Al-Anon in providing a soft place to fall during tough times. This episode is a beautiful reminder that recovery is possible and that every setback can be a setup for a comeback. So, what can we learn from Jan's journey? Dive into this engaging episode and find out how humour, love, and support can turn despair into triumph.
