Listen "When Love Isn’t Enough: Recalling My Dark Days"
Episode Synopsis
I listened to a movie today! In this episode, I share with you my thoughts of "When Love Isn't Enough: The Lois Wilson Story," a film that resonates with anyone who has ever tried to love someone out of addiction. I reflect on the parallels between Lois's story with her husband Bill and the dark side of my disease.
I explore the rhyme of shared experiences. Many are left untold by those who support their loved ones through the darkness of addiction. The film focuses on Lois Wilson as she demonstrates her commitment to her husband Bill, co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) despite the chaos and the broken promises that result from his alcoholism. Lois's strength played a pivotal role in Bill's survival and co-founded Al-Anon.
The story reminded me that love cannot alone cure addiction—it couldn't cure mine. I share a personal story of my desperation during the last days of active drinking.
