In this episode, we are delighted and privileged to speak to Carol, the Service Manager at The Living Room. Carol hails from a small town in North Wales, Bethesda, and one of her fantastic song choices is about her hometown. From an early age, Carol felt unable to express her emotions. Raised as a chapel-attending girl, Carol later went to University where she studied drama and teaching, but she also immersed herself fully in the social side of higher education, and she tells us of all-day drinking sessions on Saturdays with her female friends. Carol later went on to become a very successful teacher, but already her addiction to alcohol was having a toll on her, her family, and her career. Carol tells us about receiving electric shock therapy as a treatment for her alcoholism, but when that didn't work, she descended into 24 hour drinking. Finding recovery, listen as she tells us of her spiritual awakening one morning on a retreat...TRACKLISTThe Beatles - Help!Celt - The Streets Of BethesdaLighthouse Family - HighThe Verve - The Drugs Don't WorkSecret Garden - You Raise Me Up (feat.
