I feel like you're one of those people who I feel like you're under the radar at the Odap meeting, like in the sense that you're kind of the glue, and maybe you don't recognize it, or maybe maybe I'm the only one who knows this, but I watch how you unified that group.
Ever wondered how someone juggles the challenges of sobriety while raising kids? Kerry’s journey offers a raw, honest look into this balancing act on 'The One Day At A Time Recovery Podcast'. Growing up in a family with no history of addiction, Kerry’s introduction to drugs and alcohol in her teens led her down a path she never expected. Drawn to the thrill and attention, she quickly found herself dependent.
It wasn't until she hit rock bottom that she turned to Alcoholics Anonymous for the support she desperately needed. One of Kerry's biggest hurdles was raising her children while staying sober. She emphasizes how vital it was to have a supportive community of other recovering parents who understood her unique struggles. Kerry also delves into the role of sponsorship in her recovery, highlighting how having a mentor to guide her through the twelve steps made all the difference.
Throughout the episode, Kerry talks about finding balance in life. She shares her love for exercise and work but also stresses the importance of self-care and taking time for oneself. Her story is a powerful reminder of the resilience required to overcome addiction and the strength found in community support. Tune in to hear Kerry’s inspiring journey from dependency to sobriety and learn about the tools and strategies she used to manage life's challenges.
