In this heartfelt episode of The Magdalen House Podcast, Lisa Kroencke, the CEO of The Magdalen House, and her son Drew share their deeply personal journey through Lisa's alcoholism and recovery. Recorded live during a Mother's Day brunch, they open up about the impact of addiction on their family and the transformative power of sobriety. Drew reflects on his childhood experiences, from confusion and resentment to understanding and forgiveness.
He candidly describes how he coped with his mother's behaviour and the challenges he faced. Lisa, on the other hand, speaks about her struggle with guilt and the moment she realised her alcoholism was affecting her children. Her recovery journey, supported by the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous, brought significant changes to her life and her role as a mother. This episode is a touching testament to the resilience of families dealing with addiction and the hope that recovery brings.
It's a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and insight into the complexities of addiction and family dynamics.
