I always say about myself: I don't believe in pity party, and that was my mindset at the time, because you were just speaking about vulnerability, and at that time I was like you don't have time to, uh, feel sorry, you just got to do it because it's either sink or swim.
Growing up with parents battling alcoholism is a story many might find familiar, yet it's often shrouded in silence. In this episode of 'Jesus & Sobriety', Myra Brown sits down with her sister-in-law, Shaleah, to pull back the curtain on her childhood experiences. Shaleah shares the heavy burden of hiding her parents' addiction from family and friends, and the devastating toll it took on their lives, leading to physical disabilities.
But this isn't just a tale of hardship; it's one of resilience and faith. Shaleah's journey through the dark times was illuminated by the love of Jesus Christ and the support she found in sobriety communities. She speaks candidly about how these elements played a crucial role in her healing process and urges others facing similar battles to seek help and lean on their communities.
Shaleah's story is a testament to the strength found in vulnerability and the transformative power of faith. Whether you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a heartfelt reminder that you're not alone, and there is hope on the other side.
