The message I have Today for the newcomer is: don't worry, don't even think outside of your hula hoop, where you're standing Today in your hours number one is where you're breathing, and that's all you got.
Imagine growing up in a home where chaos was the norm and alcohol was always on the table. That's the world Harriet knew as the eldest of five children. Her story is a raw and gripping account of how she turned a life filled with responsibility that wasn't hers into a journey of healing and sobriety.
For three decades, Harriet used and abused everything and everyone she could get her hands on, trying to escape the reality she was born into. She found solace in dancing, drinking, and drugging, always seeking something to take her mind away from where her body existed. But the real transformation began when she walked into an Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting and felt, for the first time, that she was home.
In this episode of the 'Keep Coming Back Podcast', Harriet shares her experience, strength, and hope after more than two decades of sobriety. She talks about the profound impact AA had on her life and how it helped her cope with unimaginable losses, including the deaths of her husband and only child. Rather than letting these tragedies define her, Harriet channeled her pain into writing a book of hope and healing titled 'Miracles of Recovery'.
Harriet's story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding peace and purpose through spirituality and community support. She emphasizes the importance of detachment with love and facing each day as it comes. Her message to newcomers is simple but powerful: focus on where you are right now and take it one day at a time. If you're looking for inspiration or struggling with similar battles, Harriet's journey offers a beacon of hope and practical wisdom.
