Mother's Day Reflections: Lisa and Drew Kroencke on Healing and Recovery
It's been going on for Years and just knowing that if you really put the work in, you can get sober, you can change your life, and that it's really not the worst thing in the world, it can actually be, like my mom said, a million times the best thing that's ever happened.
Picture this: a Mother's Day morning, not filled with flowers and breakfast in bed, but raw, honest conversations about the past and hopes for the future. In this special episode of 'Hope for the Family' from The Magdalen House, Executive Director Lisa Kroencke and her oldest son, Drew, sit down to share their deeply personal journey through the highs and lows of living with alcoholism.
Recorded live at a Mother's Day Breakfast Club event, this episode is a heartwarming blend of emotion and laughter as they recount how Lisa's battle with alcoholism impacted their family. They don't shy away from discussing the tough times - the guilt, the shame, and the fear - but they also celebrate the milestones and moments of joy that have come with recovery.
Lisa's transformation into a sober, supportive mother is nothing short of inspiring, and Drew's perspective adds a rich layer to the narrative. This episode isn't just for those struggling with addiction; it's for anyone who believes in the power of family, community, and second chances. Tune in to hear a story of resilience, healing, and the enduring strength of a mother's love.
