One of the big things for me was there was a time in my life where I finally was able to say and know that no matter what happens, no matter what comes my way- because if I went on for hours you'd know all the things that were thrown at me- I was okay and I was at peace.
Ever wondered how support groups like Al-Anon can change lives? In this episode of 'Bikers Speak on Recovery', hosts Preacher, Beth, and Michelle open up about their journeys through addiction and recovery, all with the help of Al-Anon. Al-Anon isn't just for those battling addiction; it's a lifeline for friends and family members who are also affected.
Beth takes us through her rough upbringing in Orange County, getting mixed up with the wrong crowd, and the shock of discovering her husband was on heroin while she was eight months pregnant. Al-Anon became her anchor, helping her care for herself and her children, heal from past traumas, and even find love again through online dating. Michelle shares a different but equally powerful story.
She talks about her husband's hidden struggle with alcoholism and how it blindsided her while she was busy raising their kids. Al-Anon taught her the importance of self-care and the mantra 'let go and let God'. This newfound strength helped her support her husband on his road to recovery. Both Beth and Michelle highlight the importance of working through the steps and the incredible support found in the Al-Anon community.
They discuss the challenges of leaving unhealthy relationships behind and how Al-Anon has been pivotal in their healing process. This episode is a testament to the power of community and the hope that recovery brings. Tune in for an inspiring listen that proves you can break the cycle of addiction and live a fulfilling life.
