Today’s episode deals with themes of grief and loss, as well as wonder and awe. My dear friend and sponsee, Pamina, lost her mum to alcoholism earlier this year. At the time, Pamina was beginning her 12 Step recovery journey and building a relationship with her Higher Power. Her mum’s death came unexpectedly, and resulted in Pamina being thrown in the deep end… 

In this episode, Pamina vulnerably shares her story with us: her experience in early recovery as an atheist, what changed, and how the program supported her before, during and after her mum’s death. Despite knowing the details of her story already, this incredibly intimate conversation had me in almost constant goosebumps. Pamina’s experiences are deeply humbling and inspiring. She shares what her last words to her mum were and why she is immensely grateful to be in 12 Step recovery, how she is moving through layers of grief, how her relationship with her mum has not only healed but deepened, even in death, and how her Higher Power continues to show up for her again, and again, and again.

This episode is deeply moving. I will not do it the disservice to break it down into bullet points. 

If you are suffering from the effects of someone’s alcoholism/addiction, or if you want to get a feel for the genuine miracles that occur in 12 Step recovery, I highly suggest you listen to this episode - but don’t forget the tissues!

If you resonate with this episode, want to know more about Pamina’s story, would like to know more about the 12 Step recovery program we are in, or have any other comments or questions, I’d love to hear from you! Please send me an email at morewillberevealed.podcast@gmail.com

Lots and lots of love,
