The biggest benefit of all- and something that I don't know if they ever put it exactly into words in the book- was that god has somehow renewed or moved enough fear from me that I can actually be the same person when I'm at my house as I am on this podcast, as I am at my kid's school, as I am in the meeting and the grocery store.
Imagine getting sober at a young age only to relapse years later. That's the reality Cathy S faced, and she shares her compelling story in this episode of 'Recovered' from The Magdalen House. Cathy opens up about her early struggles with anxiety, depression, and the constant need for external validation, all of which she initially tried to numb with alcohol. However, this only plunged her deeper into the cycle of addiction.
Despite multiple attempts to stay sober, Cathy found herself continually battling the spiritual malady of alcoholism. It wasn't until she connected with a sponsor who guided her through the 12 Steps that she began to experience genuine recovery. Cathy emphasizes the importance of working the steps, serving others, and confronting the role fear plays in addiction and recovery. Throughout her journey, The Magdalen House community has been a pillar of support, helping her maintain sobriety for over a decade.
Whether you're just starting your sobriety journey or have been in recovery for years, Cathy's story offers valuable insights and inspiration. Tune in to hear how she found freedom and long-term sobriety through community, sponsorship, and the 12 Steps.
