Denise Castro Ep.0027

Happy new year! Yes, a happy new year for your host Denise Castro. ONE year for sobriety of anger, co-decency and a year of healing!

ONE YEAR OF SOBRIETY!

of Anger. of Alcohol. of Codependency.

One year ago I stood in the door of my house and looked into the brokenness of my soul. I could no longer be in denial!

I was not “depressed” or “anxious”. But, I was VERY ANGRY. My words and actions where violent tours the one I really loved. I was literally destroying my home and the life in it. And rather than breaking generational courses I was creating them.

I share the moment when my strong husband looked so broken. And when he gave me the final ultimatum. If I did not change I will loose everything that I love...

What strength. What honor. What protection. HE DID THE RIGHT THING!

I share with you the journey how I found recovery and what I did and continue to do! From celebrate recovery to inner healing. And the daily responsibility to choose joy and hope!

I share how I was being angry for being angry! And how I would self medicate and how codependency was the root of the anger.

I share my why? And the hurt. Of so badly wanting to be wanted and not to be forgotten.

How my simple, pastoral, and servant leader heart was no longer. But a servant to self and to codependency.

I share the list that I have let go!

Like, the IDOL of control and so much more. I share the things I have received!

Like, confidence in God and so much more.

At the end of this podcast you might be crying with me. Hopefully not for me. But, together we can find replenish hope. And that we can ALL find recovery and healing.

GOD is NOT done YET and I am joyful for it! Love, Denise Castro
