I really felt like I wanted to be rescued and I wanted her...
Ever wondered how someone finds the strength to overcome addiction? Jennifer M, a proud Gitxsan woman, shares her powerful story on Avalon Recovery Society Radio. As a wife, mother, and teacher, Jennifer's life seemed full, but beneath the surface, she was battling a growing dependence on alcohol. Her candid conversation with host Leanne Utendale reveals how this struggle took over her life and led her to a breaking point.
Jennifer opens up about the moment she realized she couldn't do it alone and decided to seek help from a counselor. This pivotal decision brought her to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), where she found the support and community she desperately needed. Jennifer's narrative underscores the critical role of seeking help and building a network of sober friends who understand the journey of recovery.
She reflects on her experiences with raw honesty, sharing a poignant quote: 'I really felt like I wanted to be rescued and I wanted her'. This heartfelt sentiment captures the essence of her journey – the power of reaching out and finding strength in others. If you're grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Jennifer's story is a beacon of hope.
Tune in to hear how she transformed her life and discovered that recovery is not just possible, but attainable with the right support.
