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.

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
It's OK to not be OK
Karen is well acquainted with the depth of loss, grief and all that is enveloped in the world of the alcoholic/addict. And yet, with 37 years of recovery to her name, she now helps countless others in their journey to recovery.
There are so many nuggets of wisdom shared throughout this episode! A favorite quote from the 'big book' states, "Glass in hand, we have warped our minds". And with the main dish and multiple 'sides', Karen was well on her way to a life 'off the rails'!
Listen now as she speaks to the hole in her soul that would have her trying numerous ways in which to fill it. She speaks to things with which we're all well acquainted - the shame and guilt. Pulling her 3-yr-old daughter close, she recognized she was dying from the disease of alcoholism. And then came the 24-hour chip from AA...and for the first time she realized, she had HOPE.
