The best work I do, I do for free. God pays my bills, but the best work I do, I do for free.
Marsha Stafford’s story is one of resilience and transformation. As a toddler, she was given alcohol for family entertainment, setting the stage for a challenging journey with addiction. Growing up in an environment where alcohol was a constant presence, Marsha and her siblings faced the heavy burden of hereditary alcoholism. But Marsha's story is not just about struggle; it’s about breaking free and finding purpose in sobriety.
In this episode of The Illuminate Recovery Podcast, hosts Curt Neider and Shelley Mangum sit down with Marsha to explore her path from addiction to recovery. Her journey took her to dark places, including substance abuse and living in a tent. Yet, through faith and trust in a higher power, Marsha found the strength to turn her life around. Marsha’s experiences highlight the significant impact of one’s environment on addiction.
Exposed to alcohol at a young age, she faced battles that many might find insurmountable. But Marsha’s story is also about the power of familial support and the biological aspects of addiction. Her siblings, too, grappled with their own struggles, including criminal behavior addiction. Today, Marsha is not just a survivor; she’s a beacon of hope for others.
As a consultant for new treatment centers and through her nonprofit work in Nepal, she dedicates her life to helping others find their path to recovery. She emphasizes the importance of finding purpose and trusting in God’s plan. This episode is a testament to the possibility of recovery and the vital role of support from loved ones and faith. Marsha’s journey is a powerful reminder that no matter how deep the struggle, there is always hope for a brighter future.
