Through working the steps, a whole bunch of things have changed, right. So, you know, I ended up getting my son back in my life.
Meet Tara Serrano, a woman whose journey through addiction and recovery is both heartbreaking and inspiring. In this episode of 'Recovery On-Air', Tara opens up about her struggles with shame, which began with her very first drink and followed her through many years of hardship. She talks candidly about the challenges she faced as a single mother and how addiction impacted every aspect of her life, from employment to finances. But Tara's story doesn't end in despair.
With the help of intervention and a strong support system, she managed to turn her life around, regain custody of her son, and find a new purpose in helping others achieve sobriety. Now, she chairs meetings, sits on various boards and committees, and organizes conventions to support those on their own recovery journeys. Tara emphasizes the importance of honesty, accountability, and working the twelve steps in recovery.
She also highlights the crucial role of Al-Anon in supporting the loved ones of addicts. Tara's story is a testament to the power of sharing one's experiences to inspire others. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, Tara's journey offers hope and a reminder that help is available beyond Maricopa County and Arizona. Tune in to hear her powerful story and take the first step towards recovery.
