This is Your Wake-Up Call || alcoholic, addict, co-dependent, tools and resources for recovery, HOPE
Do you long to ‘fix’ your addict or alcoholic? Are you tired of feeling alone and helpless? Would you like to leave behind the shame and judgment? Maybe even the constant worry for your safety or the safety of your children?
You’ve come to the right place! This podcast is here to offer you tools, stories, and support – reminding you that you’re not alone. We’ll provide opportunities for breakthroughs, resources to help you get the support you need, and the relief you’ve been seeking for yourself or your loved one.
I’m Jeri – the “don’t rock the boat” daughter, former co-dependent spouse, and stressed-out mom of the addicts and alcoholics in my life. For years, I was the helpless co-dependent who didn’t have the resources I so desperately needed. I read the books, prayed endlessly, and thought that if I just said or did the right thing, I could make the chaos stop.
But one day, I took the step I had been avoiding – seeking the support and healing I so desperately needed to overcome the wounds caused by this destructive disease. I discovered life-changing tools and resources, and now, I can’t wait to share them with you.
If you’re ready to hear stories of hope, help, and healing,
to learn strategies and solutions to get out of the crazy,
and to hear how others, facing similar struggles, found their breakthrough – this podcast is for you!
So grab your journal, a cup of tea, and maybe a tissue – and let’s dive in!
This is Your Wake-Up Call || alcoholic, addict, co-dependent, tools and resources for recovery, HOPE
You Are Forgiven
In this incredible episode, you will meet Sharon; renowned author, speaker, professor and therapist. The depth of this woman's story of recovery has such far reaching levels of impact. I urge you to not only listen, but to share broadly.
From growing up in a teetotaling, legalistic religious household, Sharon really had no grid for the idea of alcohol having any sort of impact beyond "relief", when her ER
doc suggested a glass of wine to ease her anxiety (there wasn't an understanding of what that was 'back then'). As you can imagine, for Sharon, that first drink quickly spun out of control. And as one who was active in her church community, raising children and in the throes of 'adulting', the shame and isolation would soon become her story, too.
Sharon Hersh offers a treasure-trove of experience, strength and hope - for those on BOTH sides of the recovery journey. She is a prolific writer with such extraordinary talent for touching the very depth of your soul with her words that drip with wisdom - from her journey and beyond. Be sure to find her on social media, grab any of her books (I can't wait to read her most recent) and share her story broadly. It's one that will touch everyone!
