Faith replaces fear, and gratitude comes naturally as we realize that our higher power is doing for us what we cannot do for ourselves.
Imagine being a child who feels responsible for keeping the peace between battling parents. Julie L knows this feeling all too well. Growing up with an alcoholic father and a mother deeply affected by it, Julie took on the role of mediator at just 10 years old. In this episode of The Recovery Show, she opens up about her path from anxiety-ridden people-pleaser to a woman who found serenity and self-worth through Al-Anon's 12-step recovery program.
Julie shares how her childhood responsibilities shaped her adult life, pushing her towards self-help books and eventually into the arms of Al-Anon. Through the program, she discovered the power of admitting her flaws and writing them down, which led to profound healing. Sponsorship and regular meetings became her anchors, guiding her towards a higher power and a deeper sense of self-esteem. One of the most transformative lessons Julie learned was the importance of choosing love over fear.
This shift in perspective didn't just change her outlook; it revolutionized her life. If you’re seeking inspiration and practical wisdom for your own recovery journey, Julie’s story offers a compelling example of how acceptance and spiritual growth can lead to lasting peace.
