Suzanne M. AFG speaker

Suzanne M. shares her heartfelt journey through the ups and downs of living with alcoholism in her family in this episode of Recovery Radio Network. As a grateful member of the Worldwide Fellowship of Al-Anon Family Group, Suzanne brings a unique perspective to the table. From her early years of parenting her younger sister to her own struggles with marrying an alcoholic, Suzanne’s story is both relatable and inspiring.

She recounts how her father introduced her to Al-Anon and how, despite initial resistance, she found solace and understanding in the meetings. Suzanne’s candid reflections on her journey—moving halfway across the country, dealing with her husband’s DUI, and eventually finding peace in her role at the World Service Office—offer a genuine look into the complexities of living with addiction in the family.

Her anecdotes, like recognising her favourite colour through a board game or rediscovering laughter, bring a touch of humour and humanity to her story. If you’re looking for an honest, heartfelt account of recovery and resilience, this episode is a must-listen. Suzanne’s experiences serve as a reminder that recovery is a journey filled with unexpected twists and turns, but also moments of profound connection and growth.
