Annmarie Coen: From Stay-at-Home Mom to Recovery Advocate

I think that that just really encapsulates recovery.
Ever wondered how a stay-at-home mom could turn into a beacon of hope for those battling addiction? In this episode of RECOVERY CAST, host Pawley has an eye-opening chat with Annmarie Coen, a drug and alcohol counselor with a story that will resonate deeply. Annmarie opens up about her journey from the comforts of home life to the harsh realities of addiction, and how she found her way back to sobriety.
She talks candidly about her initial attempts to control her drinking by switching from wine to beer and even trying vodka, thinking it wouldn't smell. But as her relationships crumbled, she realized she needed help. Annmarie's story is one of resilience and transformation. She delves into her experiences with AA, highlighting the challenges she faced with the 12-step program, including grappling with the Lord's Prayer and understanding the difference between religion and spirituality.
Her journey underscores the importance of humility and a willingness to believe in something greater than oneself. What makes Annmarie's story particularly compelling is her unwavering desire to help others. She shares how her struggles have shaped her mission to be of service to those on their own recovery paths. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the process, Annmarie's story offers valuable insights and inspiration.
