if recovery is going to be a priority, it's not even for people who want it, it's for people who are willing to work it
Imagine trying to get sober during a global pandemic. That’s exactly what Terri did, and her story is nothing short of inspiring. In this episode of 'Rise and Recover', hosted by Nancy and Kathy, Terri opens up about her challenging yet triumphant journey to sobriety. Growing up in a family where alcoholism was a constant shadow, Terri's life was marked by chaos and instability.
This environment led her to restless and discontented feelings that she initially tried to drown with social drinking. But as time went on, those social drinks turned into a more serious problem, eventually leading her to seek help through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings. Terri emphasizes the importance of community support in her recovery process. She found solace and strength in AA and NA meetings, as well as in Al-Anon, which supports families affected by alcoholism.
But what makes her story particularly unique is how she navigated her recovery during the pandemic. With in-person meetings canceled, Terri turned to virtual meetings on Zoom. Surprisingly, she found that the virtual format offered its own set of benefits, providing her with a new way to connect and stay committed to her recovery. Terri's story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible even in the most challenging circumstances.
Her willingness to embrace change and seek support underscores the resilience of the human spirit. If you're looking for a dose of inspiration and hope, this episode of 'Rise and Recover' is a must-listen.
