Family Ties in Recovery: Hannah's Journey and the Spider Story
Not only was it good for Hannah, for Mary, for myself, but there's a really good message of hope for other kids like Hannah and other parents who are struggling with addiction, with alcoholism.
Ever wondered how children cope when their parents are in recovery? In this episode of 'Easy Does It', David takes the reins as host, joined by his wife Mary and their daughter Hannah. Hannah opens up about her unique experiences growing up with parents committed to sobriety. She shares how finding support through Al-Anon and Allotine, as well as participating in youth groups and mission trips, has been instrumental in her journey towards hope and peace.
One particularly touching moment is when Hannah recounts a childhood memory involving a spider on her pie. With her father passed out from drinking, she was left to face the spider alone. This story becomes a metaphor for her struggles and growth, illustrating how she's learned to find solace in the shared stories of others who've faced similar challenges.
The episode isn't just about personal struggles; it also highlights the family's passion for animal rights and how caring for their pets has brought joy and comfort during their recovery. They discuss practical aspects of maintaining sobriety, like managing finances, and offer a message of hope for both parents and children navigating the recovery process. Tune in to hear Mary, David, and Hannah's heartfelt conversation about finding hope and peace in recovery.
