You can't keep it if you don't give it away. If you're not being active and helping others, like volunteering, volunteering is huge.
Meet Laurie Jean Harrington, a woman who has turned her struggles into a mission to help others. Laurie, the Team Lead for the Florida State Representatives of Celebrate Recovery, shares her compelling story in this episode of the Celebrate Recovery Edgewater Church podcast. Laurie’s journey began in the turbulent sixties and seventies, where she found herself caught up in a lifestyle that eventually led to addiction. Marriage and early twenties partying spiraled into chaos, but Laurie’s story didn’t end there.
Her path to recovery started with Alcoholics Anonymous, but it was through Celebrate Recovery that she found the spiritual and emotional support she needed. Laurie emphasizes the importance of finding a support group that resonates with your personal values and beliefs. Her involvement in Celebrate Recovery not only helped her achieve sobriety but also brought balance to her life. One of the key elements of Laurie’s recovery has been volunteering.
She believes in the power of giving back, stating, 'You can't keep it if you don't give it away'. Volunteering has given her a sense of purpose and fulfillment, playing a crucial role in her journey to wellness. Now retired from a 33-year career in Real Estate Title, Laurie dedicates her time to teaching health and wellness classes and helping women break free from whatever holds them back.
Her story is a powerful reminder of how faith, community support, and active involvement in helping others can transform lives. If you're looking for inspiration or guidance on your own journey to recovery and balance, Laurie’s story is a must-listen. Tune in to hear how she turned her life around and continues to make a positive impact on those around her.
