It's so much easier living without alcohol than living with it. You gotta be brave, and you will not regret getting sober. I'm just so grateful for the friendships I've established here and the encouragement that we give each other.
What if the key to overcoming addiction lies in surrendering, not just to a higher power, but to a community of like-minded women? In this episode of 'She Surrenders - The Podcast', host Sherry Hoppen dives into the heart of the Joyful Surrender group, a safe haven for women of faith grappling with addiction. Sherry opens up about the common regrets she hears from women who wish they had quit drinking sooner or joined the group earlier.
She takes listeners through the essence of what makes Joyful Surrender a transformative space, where sharing personal stories and reflections becomes a cornerstone of recovery. The episode sheds light on the five crucial questions potential members must answer before joining, emphasizing the pivotal role of faith and willingness to engage in the community. Sherry candidly discusses the drop-off rate at question #5, where many hesitate to commit to a call with an admin.
This hesitation, she believes, is rooted in fear and uncertainty, yet those who take the leap often find profound support and understanding. Listeners will hear firsthand accounts from group members about how surrendering to God and building relationships within the community have been instrumental in their recovery. The episode also touches on the importance of humor and encouragement in maintaining motivation and positivity.
It's a testament to how collective strength and faith can turn the tide in one's battle against addiction. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the power of community and faith in overcoming life's challenges, this episode offers a blend of practical advice, heartfelt stories, and a sprinkle of humor to keep you engaged. Tune in to discover how Joyful Surrender can be a beacon of hope and transformation.
