In this episode of Recovery Radio Network, Cheryl Y. shares her heartfelt journey through a life intertwined with alcoholism and recovery. As a member of the Tri-County Al-Anon in Campbellsville, Kentucky, Cheryl paints a vivid picture of her upbringing in a large family where alcohol was ever-present. She recounts her mother's stern yet loving influence and her father's carefree, risk-taking spirit.
Cheryl's story is one of resilience, shaped by a strict mother and a father who balanced work and play, often indulging in the nightlife. Despite her family's struggles with alcohol, Cheryl never drank but grappled with the 'isms' that often accompany such environments. She describes the challenges of growing up in a household with limited resources, her father's passion for land over material possessions, and the impact of alcohol on family dynamics.
Cheryl's narrative takes listeners through her marriage to a man from an alcoholic home, their shared journey through parenthood, and the eventual realisation that she needed to find her own path to recovery. Her involvement with Al-Anon brought about a significant change, helping her build boundaries out of love rather than fear. Cheryl's story is a testament to the power of community and support in overcoming the shadows of alcoholism.
Her candid reflections offer hope and encouragement to anyone facing similar struggles. Tune in to hear Cheryl's inspiring journey and discover how she found strength and solace through Al-Anon.
