In this episode of Recovery Radio Network, Teresa R. shares her journey through the ups and downs of life, leading her to Al-Anon. Growing up in a large Catholic family in rural Kentucky, Teresa recounts a childhood filled with both joyous and challenging moments. Her story is a mix of heartfelt anecdotes and tough realities, from summers spent picking blackberries and swimming in the river to the chaos and violence brought on by alcohol abuse in her family.

As Teresa navigates through her teenage years and into adulthood, she describes how the dysfunction of her family life affected her relationships and choices. Her candid account includes moments of fear, guilt, and shame, but also instances of love, resilience, and hope.
Through Al-Anon, Teresa found a path to healing and a deeper understanding of herself and her spirituality. She speaks openly about the tools and principles that have helped her regain balance and serenity in her life. Teresa's story is not just about survival but about finding peace amidst the chaos. She highlights the importance of self-care, setting boundaries, and maintaining a strong connection with a higher power.
Her journey is a testament to the transformative power of support groups like Al-Anon. If you're looking for an honest and relatable story about overcoming adversity and finding strength in community, this episode is a must-listen.
