I would say there's some churning ideas of once again thinking: what resources did I need in That Season and how can I maybe help produce some of those in the future?
Shonah Marie's story is one of resilience and transformation. Growing up as a sheltered and anxious Christian, she found herself unprepared for the challenges of being married to an alcoholic. In this heartfelt episode of Avalon Recovery Society Radio, host Leanne Utendale sits down with Shonah to discuss her journey, which she chronicles in her book, 'Steady in the Storm'. Shonah opens up about her upbringing and how it shaped her initial reactions to her husband's alcoholism.
She shares the pivotal moment she discovered Al-Anon, a support group for friends and families of alcoholics, and how it became a lifeline for her. Writing her book was not just a therapeutic exercise but a path to personal growth and self-discovery. Throughout the conversation, Shonah underscores the importance of seeking personal treatment and finding tranquility amid life's chaos.
She reflects on her past, identifying the resources she needed then and how she's now committed to providing those resources for others. This episode offers a blend of personal anecdotes and broader insights, making it a compelling listen for anyone touched by addiction.
