God's hand is always out and it's up to me to reach for it.
Ever wondered how someone can break free from the grips of alcoholism? In this episode of 'Recovered' from The Magdalen House, Lauren M opens up about her incredible journey. She starts by recalling her first encounter with alcohol during childhood, a moment that sparked a long and painful struggle. As she grew older, her dependence on alcohol deepened, leading her to a very dark place where she even attempted to end her life.
The turning point came when her father introduced her to the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. This introduction, coupled with the unwavering support of a recovery community, became the foundation of her path to sobriety. Lauren's story doesn't shy away from the hard truths. She talks candidly about the mental obsession with alcohol, the willingness to go to any lengths to stay sober, and the emotional rollercoaster of losing a loved one while maintaining sobriety.
Making amends and navigating complex relationships also feature prominently in her narrative. Throughout the episode, Lauren emphasizes the importance of rigorous honesty, accountability, and spirituality in her recovery journey. She delves into the Twelve Steps and highlights how a supportive community played a crucial role in her transformation. Lauren's story is more than just a tale of overcoming addiction; it's a powerful reminder that no matter how dark things may seem, there's always a path to hope and recovery.
