Susan Walsh's Path to Sobriety: A Story of Hope and Resilience
Life post-alcohol is good, but just because I stopped drinking, my problems didn't go away, and I think that's something that people, kind of we, get lured into.
Imagine growing up in an environment where alcohol is as common as a cup of tea. In this episode of 'The Two Norries Podcast', Susan Walsh sits down with hosts James Leonard and Timmy Long to share her deeply personal journey through alcoholism and the path to recovery. Recorded over Zoom during the lockdown, Susan opens up about how drinking became a normalized part of her life, affecting her mental health and well-being.
She doesn’t shy away from discussing the challenges she faced in seeking help and the pivotal role of religious-based treatment programs in her recovery. But Susan’s story isn’t just about overcoming addiction; it’s about the ongoing journey of self-work and personal growth. Her honesty and vulnerability make her story relatable, reminding us that addiction can touch anyone, but with the right support, healing is possible.
Whether you’re on your own path to sobriety or supporting someone who is, Susan’s tale offers a beacon of hope and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
