And at that point I felt like I was so broken that I couldn't function in any way, much less as an attorney. But the spiritual component is such an important part. And so what I want to say is just living that life and moving forward in my recovery.
Imagine having everything you need—a loving family, a stable career, and a strong faith—only to find yourself trapped in the cycle of addiction. In this episode of 'Recovery Talks: The Podcast', Marc Lee Shannon sits down with Summit County Domestic Relations Court Magistrate Cheryl Wear. Cheryl opens up about her unexpected battle with alcoholism, a journey that started from a seemingly innocent hobby and spiraled into a life-altering habit.
Despite her well-adjusted upbringing in a Christian home, Cheryl found herself seeking solace in alcohol to escape feeling bad. This led to disrupted family events, job losses, and ultimately, separation from her husband and children. At her lowest point, Cheryl realized that addiction doesn't discriminate; it can affect anyone, regardless of their background. She shares how hitting rock bottom forced her to reevaluate her misconceptions about alcoholism and pushed her to reconnect with her faith.
Through candid reflections, Cheryl talks about the pivotal role Christianity played in her recovery, helping her rebuild relationships with her children and find a new sense of purpose. Her story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible for everyone, but it requires vulnerability, faith, and a strong support system. Tune in to hear Cheryl's inspiring journey from darkness to light and learn how she overcame the challenges of addiction.
