Laura Wilson was first introduced to The Magdalen House in September 2019, as a First Step client. Entering her ninth institution in six years, she thought she would “play the game” and coast her way through her 2-week stay. But once she understood her problem, and heard the solution and hope from other recovered women, she decided to work the 12 steps like her life depended on it. She came to Maggie’s because she had nowhere else to go; she stayed at Maggie’s because she never wanted to leave. Without The Magdalen House, she would not be alive today.
In her recovery, Laura has found several passions in life, with her main one being helping others struggling with alcoholism. She is active in the recovery community, spending time carrying the message at treatment centers, and sponsoring other women. She also enjoys traveling, fly fishing, and spending time with her friends and family. Her biggest gift in recovery is the reestablished relationship with her dad, Doug Wilson.
