I solemnly swear that I will tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Imagine finding comfort in a glass of whiskey and coke at just 13 years old. That's where Karen Casey's journey began. In this episode of 'The Truth About Addiction', host Ron Isherwood sits down with Karen, a best-selling author and a trailblazer in women's recovery. With over 46 years of sobriety under her belt, Karen's story is both raw and uplifting.
She shares the struggles of her early life, including a tumultuous first marriage to another alcoholic, and the 'spiritual intervention' that saved her life when she was on the brink of suicide. Karen's first book, 'Each Day A New Beginning', has sold over 4 million copies and has been a beacon of hope for countless women battling addiction. Her journey took a pivotal turn when she walked into an Al-Anon meeting, marking the beginning of her long road to recovery.
Throughout the episode, Karen's honesty and humor shine through as she recounts her experiences and the importance of community and spirituality in her recovery. Listeners will be inspired by Karen's relentless dedication to helping others find their own paths to sobriety. Her work has not only transformed her life but also the lives of many women who have read her books and attended her talks.
This episode is a testament to the power of resilience and the transformative impact of support networks in overcoming addiction. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Karen's story offers valuable insights and hope for a brighter future.
