I had to work on feeling and owning my own power and it just didn't work for me to hear that I was powerless over alcohol. It was right after my husband died and I just wanted to take the pain away.
Ever faced a storm that seemed too overwhelming to weather? Kathy L. has. Her life took a dramatic turn when her husband was diagnosed with a debilitating disease, thrusting her into the role of caregiver. The stress led her to lean on alcohol, a pattern that persisted into her second marriage, which also ended in heart-wrenching loss. On this episode of 'The Bubble Hour', Kathy opens up about her journey through grief, addiction, and ultimately, recovery.
Kathy's story is one of heartbreak, but also of incredible resilience. She candidly shares how she found herself increasingly dependent on alcohol to numb the pain of her losses. But she didn't let grief define her. With a resolve to reclaim her life, Kathy turned to support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous and Women for Sobriety. These communities offered her the comfort and connection she desperately needed.
In addition to the invaluable support from these groups, Kathy discovered the importance of gratitude and self-compassion in her healing process. By listing the things she was grateful for and embracing new hobbies like skiing and writing, she began to reconnect with herself and find joy in life again. Kathy's journey underscores the power of community and personal strength in overcoming addiction.
Her story is a testament to the fact that recovery is possible, even in the face of immense grief. Tune in to hear Kathy's inspiring tale and discover how she found hope and purpose amidst the darkest times.
