So it was finally getting honest with myself, getting honest with the things that I had done. You know, I was an asshole and I treated people, you know.
Teresa H. opens up about her path to sobriety and spirituality in this episode of The Magdalen House Podcast's Recovered series. Teresa's journey is a heartfelt exploration of mending a strained relationship with her daughter, which had suffered due to her drinking. She shares how making amends isn't just about saying sorry but building a relationship with God and embracing honesty and thoroughness in recovery.
Teresa talks candidly about the challenges she faced, from using life events as excuses to drink to the medical bills that piled up. She wasn't a daily drinker, which made her road to recovery even more complex. But through trusting in God's plan and surrendering to a higher power, Teresa found the strength to overcome alcoholism. One of the most touching parts of Teresa's story is her efforts to rebuild her relationship with her daughter after a painful separation.
Her daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumor, and Teresa was initially blocked from all contact. Despite this, she waited patiently for the right moment to make amends, eventually admitting her past mistakes and starting the healing process. Teresa also reflects on making amends with her ex-husband and how helping other women in recovery has been vital to her own sobriety. Her story is a powerful reminder of the transformative power of recovery and spirituality.
By sharing her experiences, Teresa hopes to inspire others on their own paths to sobriety.
