Ever wondered how someone finds peace and joy amidst the chaos of alcoholism? Jean K. shares her heartfelt journey in this episode of Recovery Radio Network. As a devoted member of the Al-Anon Family Groups, Jean reflects on her life, from the struggles of living with an alcoholic to finding solace and community in Al-Anon meetings.

Jean also highlights the importance of participation and harmony within recovery groups, making you feel like you're part of her extended family. Jean's experiences are relatable and eye-opening, especially when she talks about the misconceptions she had about alcoholism and how Al-Anon's literature helped her understand it as a family disease.
She recounts moments of doubt and enlightenment, such as when she realised that showing kindness and being the 'face of God' to others can make a significant difference. Her candidness about her fears, like worrying about her cats near a wood stove, and her triumphs, like finding joy in small apartments, makes her story both compelling and inspiring. The episode isn't just about Jean's past; it's also about the present and future.
She speaks about how her life has transformed through the support of her Al-Anon community and how she's learned to love and laugh again. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, Jean's story offers valuable lessons on resilience, acceptance, and the power of community. Don't miss this chance to hear Jean's uplifting journey. Her story might just be the encouragement you need to keep going or to start your own path to recovery.
