ASP 015: From Cocaine & Alcohol to a Successful Business Owner, Mother, and Grandmother

Listen to Addiction Support Podcast, Episode 15

Thank you for listening!

Show Notes for this episode are at addictionsupportpodcast.com/episode15

Overview:

My guest this week is Donna Wood.  Listen as Donna shares her story.  How she started out drinking as a teenager, then progressed to cocaine and partying as she became an adult.  She shares her heart-wrenching decision to give her daughter up for adoption at the age of 2.

Today, Donna is a successful business woman.  She owns and operates one of the largest landscaping businesses in Phoenix, AZ.  She’s a loving Mother, Grandmother, and Friend.  To know her is to adore her!

Donna believes that anyone who is struggling with addiction should seek help.  She recommends starting with a 12 Step Program, therapy, and personal growth.

Resources:

Donna highly recommends Alison Armstrong’s work.  I have not taken her seminars however I have many friends who have.  You can check that out at http://understandmen.com.

2 Books that Donna recommended are Think & Grow Rich For Women and Compound Effect.  If you want to get 1 one of these on audio for FREE  just click here or go to audibletrial.com/addictionsupportpodcast.

She also uses the Passion Planner to keep her life organized.

I should have taken a picture to show you how she does it.  Basically, each area of her life has a different highlighter color.  When she looks at her planner,  she can see if she’s in harmony or if she needs to spend more time in a certain area of her life.  Pretty Smart!

  • When you refer 3 people who buy a Passion Planner then you’ll get one for free!  If you do order a Passion Planner, let them know that Donna or I referred you.  My email is Melissa [at] oakcreekwellness [dot] com.  *My email looks funny because I’m hoping to avoid spam and bots.  Send me a message through my contact page or leave a comment below if you would like Donna’s email.  We sure would appreciate it! xoxo

Melissa Sue Tucker: Melissa Sue Tucker from Oak Creek Wellness interviews inspiring family members and friends of alcoholics, drug addicts, and people who have struggled with other addictions. Discover tips and tricks on how we can keep ourselves healthy when we are in a relationship with an addict. You can also hear from holistic health and wellness professionals that share insight into keeping yourself well. Although Melissa confesses she does not have it all figured out, through the help of seminars, life coaches, and wellness professionals she has been able to work through her feelings of sadness, guilt, and shame associated with having two younger brothers struggle with drug addiction. After one brother passed away, she decided that his death would not be in vain. Only recently after watching Johann Hari's Ted Talk: Everything You Know About Addiction is Wrong did she decided to take action by focusing on inspiring hope and change by providing love and support to friends and family members of addicts. “Be the change you wish to see in the world” - Gandhi
