Welcome to all of our new members. The Lab is a safe place to share anything. My recovery has completely transformed me! I have done a lot of work. I have discovered the real problem, the reason I began drinking. I do not have to drink to numb my feelings.Recovery has also given me a purpose on this earth. I never felt like I had a purpose, that I was not good enough to do anything right. That is gone now! My HP and the universe led me to my purpose, to be a recovery coach. Helping others brings me joy and reinforces my true purpose – working with women who have the disease of addiction and have children of any age with or without addiction. I was a mother who drank while raising children. As my children got older my drinking increased. I made many mistakes that I now look at as learning experiences. The only way to make amends to them is to be the best role model I can be. And that is why I want to help other mothers! I volunteer at a women”s transitional house. I spent an hour today with one of the ladies, coaching her. She is in recovery and has 4 kids who were taken from her 16 years ago. She is now working to repair relationships. I am her go to. I successfully coached her! It is so rewarding, a magical feeling! I have my purpose and this brings me True Joy! (Sorry this is so long. It just flowed out of me….)
That’s so great! We can never change our past, but we can learn from it and help others to not make the same ones we have made. I am happy you have found your calling!
Loved hearing your experience with this person Jennifer. As a child of an alcoholic who passed away from his drinking, I always say the greatest gift you can give your children is a sober, present and loving parent. I’m so happy you’ve found a calling that support your soul and the soul of other beings!
