What you learn about yourself and you know it's learning about how to be with others and to love them and to be aware.
Imagine finding a lifelong friend at a recovery retreat. That's exactly what happened to Clare Garrity and Kathy Robbins over three decades ago on the shores of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. In this heartwarming episode of 'Recovery Hour', hosted by Lori Windfeldt, these two women share their incredible journey of friendship and recovery from alcohol and food disorders.
Clare, with 34 years alcohol-free and 30 years free of bulimia, and Kathy, with 32 years of sobriety and 25 years recovering from a food disorder, have a bond that has seen them through some wild adventures and profound personal growth. From reciting The Hail Mary Prayer out loud to lounging on nude beaches in France, their stories are as varied as they are inspiring.
They talk about their deep spiritual connection, the joy of shared laughter, and the importance of taking responsibility for one's own happiness. Their anecdotes, like joy rides in a Mercedes Benz and 62-mile bike rides, bring a lighthearted touch to their serious commitment to recovery. Clare likens Kathy to Oprah’s BFF Gail, while Kathy sees Clare as the Thelma to her Louise. Through their tales, they highlight how recovery has been one of the best decisions they've ever made.
This episode is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about the power of friendship, the significance of spiritual connections, and finding joy in life's journey. Tune in for a conversation that is as uplifting as it is entertaining.
