Mojdeh L. AFG speaker

In this heartfelt episode of Recovery Radio Network, Mojdeh L. shares her moving journey through the Al-Anon Family Groups. From her unique perspective as a naturalised citizen and non-native English speaker, Mojdeh dives into her personal battles and triumphs with co-dependency and alcoholism within her family. Her story is a testament to the power of perspective, as she reflects on how different people can have varied recollections of the same events, shaping their realities in unique ways.

Mojdeh’s anecdotes are both poignant and humorous, as she recounts the importance of understanding words and their meanings, sometimes driving herself crazy over a single term until she looks it up in the dictionary - her favourite non-Al-Anon literature. Mojdeh's journey isn't just about her struggles; it's also about finding strength and hope through the support of her sponsors and the Al-Anon community.

She shares how her sponsor, June W., became a guiding light, helping her navigate the complexities of life with an alcoholic partner. Mojdeh talks about the importance of detachment and finding a higher power, which for her, initially was the collective strength of her Al-Anon group. Her story takes listeners through the ups and downs of dealing with an alcoholic spouse, the physical and emotional turmoil, and ultimately finding peace within herself.

Mojdeh’s reflections on maintaining sanity, setting boundaries, and seeking help are invaluable for anyone struggling with similar issues. She candidly discusses how she coped with her husband's erratic behaviour, the eventual separation, and her journey towards self-discovery and healing. Mojdeh’s narrative is not just about survival but about thriving despite the odds. Her closing thoughts on expecting miracles and finding joy in life’s simple pleasures are truly inspiring.

If you're looking for a story of resilience, hope, and practical advice on dealing with co-dependency and alcoholism, this episode is a must-listen.
