Family Recovery: Real Stories of Hope and Healing
You love them through it and you go through the pain. This is a place where we tell each other the truth, and I don't think there's a lot of places like that out there in the world today.
What does family recovery truly look like? In this heartfelt episode of The Recovery Show, six individuals—Bob B, Polly P, Ralph W, Michael E, Bill R, and Linda B—open up about their personal journeys through Al-Anon and AA. Recorded at the 2010 AA Woodstock of the South, they share raw and honest stories about dealing with alcoholism and addiction within their families.
From the pain and fear to the life-changing solutions found in the 12-step programs, this episode offers a deep dive into the emotional and spiritual growth that comes with recovery. The speakers highlight the importance of working the steps, having supportive sponsors, and fostering honesty in relationships. They also touch on parenting while in recovery and how these principles have helped them support their loved ones through their own struggles.
This episode is a beacon of hope, showing that recovery is not just possible but transformative for everyone involved.
