Janice D. takes the stage with a mix of nerves and humour, sharing her journey through alcoholism and recovery in this episode of Recovery Radio Network. Speaking candidly about her fears and experiences, Janice brings a raw authenticity that resonates deeply with anyone who has faced similar struggles.

She recounts moments of doubt, like the time she felt everyone at a conference was falling asleep during her talk, and how she overcame those fears by leaning on her faith and the support of her community. Janice's storytelling is both relatable and inspiring, filled with anecdotes that highlight the absurdities and challenges of addiction, such as drinking Kalua on the rocks at 10 AM or ending up in bars that smelled like urinals.

Her reflections on her past, including humorous memories of ugly dresses and cowboy bars, provide a light-hearted counterbalance to the serious topic of recovery. Janice also emphasises the importance of spiritual growth and the role of a higher power in her recovery journey. She shares how working through the steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and having a strong sponsor helped her find clarity and purpose.

Her message is clear: recovery is possible with honesty, community support, and a willingness to embrace spiritual principles. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, Janice's talk offers valuable insights and a reminder that you're not alone in this journey. Tune in to hear her heartfelt story and find encouragement in her words.
