I failed to mention that through all of These Years, what I can tell you, what has remained my constant, is my higher power.
Picture growing up as the youngest of seven in a traditional Mexican family, where gender roles were rigid and expectations heavy. Patty G’s journey on 'The One Day At A Time Recovery Podcast' starts from this very place. Hosted by Arlina Allen, this episode dives into Patty's life, marked by early struggles with family dynamics, abuse, and alcoholism. Patty opens up about feeling isolated in her own home, unable to trust her family with her deepest problems.
Turning to alcohol as a teenager, she quickly found herself labeled as the life of the party, but it was a mask hiding deeper issues. Her world took a darker turn when she was sexually assaulted by her sister's husband, leading to a spiral of addiction and eventually landing her on a prison bus. Yet, amid the chaos, Patty's higher power became her anchor, guiding her towards recovery.
This episode isn't just about the hardships; it's about the power of resilience, compassion, and forgiveness. Patty’s story is a beacon for anyone grappling with addiction or trying to rebuild broken relationships. Through candid conversations, she shares how communication has been key in mending family ties and how mindfulness and self-care have played crucial roles in maintaining her sobriety. If you're looking for a story that embodies hope and transformation, Patty G’s journey is a must-listen.
