Great it is to dream a dream when you stand in youth by the story stream, but greater still is to fight life through and say at the end the dream was true

Jenny P. takes you on an emotional journey through her life and recovery in this heartfelt episode of Recovery Radio Network. Starting with her failed dream of becoming a flight attendant, Jenny recounts her struggles and triumphs with raw honesty and a touch of humour. From her time in Puerto Rico to her turbulent years in the Bronx, she navigates the complexities of alcoholism, co-dependency, and family dysfunction.

Jenny's story is filled with vivid anecdotes, like the time she was kicked out of Eastern Airline Training for being 10 pounds overweight, and her tumultuous marriage to a police sergeant who battled his own demons. Through it all, Jenny finds solace and strength in the Al-Anon program, which she credits for giving her a new lease on life.

She shares how her first sponsor helped her channel her rage and despair into something constructive, leading her to become a dedicated member of the recovery community. Whether she's talking about smashing a wedding portrait or planning to throw her husband off a bridge (in jest, of course), Jenny's candidness is both relatable and inspiring. Her story is a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of support systems in overcoming life's challenges.

Don't miss this episode if you're looking for a story that combines grit, grace, and a whole lot of heart.
