How God Removed My Desire to Drink (Jana I.'s Story)
The Catholic in Recovery Podcast
Jana shares how a lifelong struggle with perfectionism, an eating disorder, and alcoholism left her trapped in a cycle of obsession, secrecy, and despair despite outward success and accomplishment. Through recovery, the Twelve Steps, and a profound surrender to God, she experienced freedom from the desire to drink and discovered a deep, personal relationship with Jesus that sustained her through grief, illness, and life's challenges. Jana’s story is a powerful witness that lasting serenity and healing become possible when we trust in God’s love and allow Him to restore what addiction has broken.
