I wrote it because there wasn't a book that told some hope and I just wanted to give back because my life is so much better and our community is such a beautiful community- the recovery community- and that was like the 12th step that I wanted to give back to someone else.
Lea Lauks has a story that many can relate to but few openly discuss. As a speech-language pathologist, mother, and wife, Lea found herself entangled in the chaos of her husband's alcohol addiction. But rather than succumb to despair, she embarked on a journey of resilience and hope.
In this episode of 'The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return', Lea opens up about her experiences, from the darkest moments of living with an alcoholic spouse to her triumphant steps towards recovery and sobriety. She talks about the book she wrote because she couldn't find one that resonated with her struggles, and how she turned her pain into a beacon for others in similar situations.
Lea's story is a testament to the power of community support, the importance of seeking help, and the strength found in sharing one's journey. With the help of her Al-Anon group, friends, family, and an unwavering determination, Lea not only found her way out but also created a resource for others to feel less alone. Her candid discussion highlights the significance of alternative detox methods and the profound impact addiction has on families.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone dealing with addiction in their family or looking for inspiration on the path to recovery.
