No, no, what I've experienced or what you or anybody else has experienced, doesn't have to be the way forward, and I just like the simplicity of this song as well.
What happens when early struggles with alcohol lead to a life-changing journey of recovery? In this episode of 'Let's Recover Together', Bethan opens up about her tumultuous path. Growing up, she faced constant arguments at home and discovered alcohol in her mid-teens, often drinking alone while her parents were out. After being expelled from school, she moved to the south of France, hoping for a fresh start. However, her addiction followed her.
Upon returning to the UK, she married a brewer, thinking she had 'cut out the middle man', but this only deepened her dependency. Tragedy struck with the loss of her son, further complicating her battle with alcohol. Eventually, Bethan found solace and support in a fellowship programme. She shares how this community helped her rebuild her life and find a sense of peace.
Alongside her story, Bethan brings an eclectic mix of music, from 80s post-punk to musicals and 60s classics, creating a unique and engaging listening experience. Tune in to hear Bethan's inspiring tale of resilience and renewal.
