My Recovery; sharing in a meeting...

If it wasn't for a process of recovery, and finding my way into some amazing rooms - I would still be a broken, fearful mess. Most likely I'd still searching for that one answer or event to finally heal my life. With my emotional well-being at the mercy of people and situations outside of myself, which is a great way to live a miserable life!

This episode was recorded in a family support group meeting, in the same room where I found hope, acceptance, connection, love, encouragement and confidence to face my insecurities and go to work on my own dysfunction.

Beginning with a bit of our backstory, to examples of family frustrations, to where we are now - the trajectory of my life has had many twists and turns. Where we are now is just about as far as you can get from where we used to be! From my relationship with my family, Mother, son and with rude people!

Many situations included in my 2nd book, "Unbroken, Navigating the Madness of Family Addiction, Alcoholism, Dysfunction and Heartache." While It's impossible to cover everything in a share, I wanted to hit the highlights and share what recovery has taught me, given me, and what I'm doing with it now. What an honor to share more of my recovery story with some of my most favorite people from the rooms of recovery and support.

If you or someone you know are affected by a loved one's addiction, alcoholism - please find a meeting along with safe, healthy, compassionate support, it'll alter the course of your life! Peace is possible!

Still learning,

Annie
