I hate the disease of alcoholism. I hate it with every fibre in my being. My problem is I love the alcoholic.

In this episode of Recovery Radio Network, Vannoy S. shares her heartfelt journey through the ups and downs of living with alcoholism in her family. Speaking from Jekyll Island, Georgia, Vannoy recounts her experiences growing up in Lubbock, Texas, where she was surrounded by alcoholics and the constant presence of addiction.

Her story is filled with raw honesty, touching on the pain and struggles she faced, but also highlighting the moments of hope and transformation that came through her involvement in Al-Anon and Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Vannoy's narrative is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of community support in recovery. She speaks fondly of her home groups in Los Angeles, the Central Group and the Pacific Group, where she found solace and strength.

Vannoy also expresses deep gratitude to those who have supported her along the way, including Megan, who went above and beyond to ensure her comfort during her travels. With a mix of humour and sincerity, Vannoy paints a vivid picture of her life, from the chaotic and painful moments to the profound sense of belonging she found in recovery groups. Her story is not just about surviving addiction but about finding a new way to live and thrive despite it.

This episode is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible and that there is always hope, no matter how dark the circumstances may seem. Tune in to hear Vannoy's inspiring journey and gain insight into the strength and support that can be found within recovery communities.
