Bernadette B. brings her heartfelt journey of recovery to the forefront in this episode of Recovery Radio Network. As a proud member of the Worldwide Fellowship of Al-Anon and Alateen Family Groups, Bernadette shares her story at the 42nd Kentucky Convention with a mix of humour, nostalgia, and profound life lessons.
She begins with a light-hearted joke that sets a warm tone for her deeply personal narrative, which spans from her childhood in Brooklyn to her life as a mother of nine children. Bernadette's tale is one of resilience and spiritual growth, heavily influenced by her mother’s strength and her own experiences within the Al-Anon community.

She fondly remembers meeting Lois Wilson, co-founder of Al-Anon, and how such connections have enriched her life.
Bernadette's story is not just about survival but about thriving amidst adversity, making it a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and hope in their own recovery process. With candid reflections and heartfelt gratitude, Bernadette’s narrative underscores the power of community and the transformative impact of the Al-Anon program. Her message is clear: recovery is possible with the right support and a commitment to self-care.
