Bridget J's Road to Recovery: From Darkness to Light

I don't think she had the same problem that I did with walking into a Maggie's or any kind of- you know, any kind of a step program without god. And she said, bridget, that's a power greater than yourself. If that, you know, is such a hangup for you like it was for me.
What does it take to reclaim your life from the grip of alcoholism? In this episode of Recovered, Bridget J opens up about her turbulent journey. She starts with her first drink and takes us through the harrowing blackouts that marked her descent into addiction. Bridget's story is one of stark contrasts—between her attempts to control her drinking and the eventual realization that she needed professional help.
Her journey wasn't just about quitting alcohol; it was about embracing spirituality and making amends for past actions. Through the support of The Magdalen House, Bridget discovered the transformative power of these steps. She shares how facing the fear of change head-on was crucial in her path to sobriety. Bridget’s message is clear: perseverance and honesty are key.
'If you can let go of the reservations holding you back and see what befalls you on your road when you embark on this journey, things that you absolutely cannot imagine, those are the things worth sticking with it', she says. Tune in to hear Bridget's inspiring story and find out how she turned her life around.
