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!

The Great Equalizer
Well, hello again listeners! I'd like to offer my apologies for taking so long in getting a new episode your way. There have been numerous reasons behind this 'lapse', including rescheduling several of our guests due to conflicts - as well as having Covid and losing my voice for a bit. (there's some relapse involved, as well, which I'll share on another episode)
All of that to say, I can't WAIT for you to hear today's guest. Her story is not only remarkable in her own recovery journey through an exceedingly difficult childhood with alcoholic, abusive parents - with trauma so extensive that by age 21 she wanted to end her life! Then...recovery...with God doing for her what she couldn't do for herself.
Ultimately, the struggles with her own grown son began, where he would be walking down the same dark path.
It truly is remarkable - not only how this woman and I crossed paths, but I now know it was an incredibly important 'Divine connection'.
Finally, the resources she shares are extensive! Please, do not miss listening to this episode, and I do hope you will share it broadly!
