I'm not afraid of dying from this disease. I'm afraid of living with it and destroying everybody around me.
Marie T. from Fort Myers, Florida, takes the stage in this heartfelt episode of Recovery Radio Network. With a blend of humour and raw honesty, Marie shares her journey through alcoholism, her struggles, and her path to recovery. She opens up about her early life in a chaotic home with a World War II veteran father, her shy childhood, and her eventual descent into alcoholism.
Her vivid storytelling paints a picture of a life transformed by the support of Alcoholics Anonymous and the power of sponsorship. Marie's story is filled with relatable moments – from hiding under tables as a child to hiding her car from the repo man as an adult. She recounts her lowest points, including losing jobs due to her drinking and the heart-wrenching decision to give up her baby for adoption. Yet, amidst the pain, there's hope.
Marie speaks about finding God, the importance of the twelve steps, and how sponsorship has kept her grounded. Her anecdotes, like comparing herself to an antelope in a nature documentary, add a touch of lightness to her powerful narrative. This episode is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the life-changing impact of community support in recovery. If you're looking for a story that combines humour, honesty, and inspiration, this episode is a must-listen.
