Guided by God Winks: With Marian Cosgrove

After The Tones Drop

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Marian Cosgrove, a law enforcement officer whose story is nothing short of extraordinary. From a childhood filled with both joy and profound trauma to navigating the complexities of failed marriages and a challenging military career, Marian faced a critical choice: succumb to self-destruction or fight with every ounce of strength she had.

Marian opens up about her struggle with alcoholism, a crutch that became both her comfort and her curse. She shares how her journey led her to the brink of despair, ultimately finding herself at a crossroads—contemplating the unthinkable or choosing a different path through the 12-step program of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Now, Marian combines her experience with her law enforcement career to save lives, using her story to reach out to those still suffering. We delve deep into the concept of "God Winks," those subtle, divine nudges that guided her toward recovery and spiritual awakening. Marian's story is one of resilience, courage, and the profound impact of choosing to embrace a second chance.

Join us for an honest and unfiltered conversation filled with humor, hope, and inspiration as Marian reveals how dark humor, community support, and a commitment to service have become her anchors in a life transformed. She discusses the power of vulnerability, the importance of seeking help, and the unexpected friendships forged in the most unlikely places.
