Debbie C., a dedicated Al-Anon member since 1983, shares her heartfelt journey at the 25th Annual Music City Roundup in Nashville, TN. Growing up in a military family, Debbie learned early on to keep people at a distance and not share personal struggles outside her family. This upbringing built a wall around her, which later became a prison of isolation. Her story is a powerful testament to the impact of Al-Anon and AA in transforming lives.
Debbie candidly recounts her experiences with her father's stern discipline, her turbulent marriage with Norm, and the challenges of raising a child with a lung disease. She speaks about the dark times, including contemplating driving off a bridge, and how the voice of God and the support from Al-Anon helped her find hope and healing. Through Al-Anon, Debbie learned to follow through with commitments, make amends, and ultimately love herself.
Her journey is filled with raw honesty, touching moments, and profound lessons that resonate deeply with anyone affected by alcoholism. By sharing her story, Debbie highlights the importance of community, resilience, and the transformative power of the 12-step program. This episode is a must-listen for those seeking solace, understanding, and inspiration in their own recovery journey.
