You never get the innocence back. For the folks that I'm talking to in some of the groups- people I know, folks that have kids five, Six, Seven Years sober- they're almost always waiting for the other shoe to drop and there's no indication that it's going to drop, that they're going to go back to substances or anything like that. It's just a fact that you cannot get that moment back. It just doesn't happen. And it's gone.
Imagine the heartbreak of watching a loved one spiral into addiction, and the longing for things to return to 'normal'. In this compelling episode of 'Opioid Dad', Hank dives deep into the emotional toll addiction takes on families. Titled 'Innocence Lost and Recovery Process', this episode isn’t just about the struggle; it’s about finding hope amidst the chaos.
Hank opens up about the harsh reality that some things never go back to the way they were, no matter how much we wish they would. But he doesn’t stop there. He shares candid stories about navigating strained relationships and the ongoing battle to rebuild trust and connection. Hank also sheds light on the role of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) in recovery, offering a balanced view of its benefits and challenges.
What stands out is his unwavering honesty about the lifelong journey of addiction recovery and the bittersweet acceptance that innocence, once lost, is gone for good. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that while recovery is tough, it’s also a path to celebrating small victories and finding new ways to move forward. Whether you're in the thick of it or supporting someone who is, Hank's raw and genuine reflections will resonate deeply, offering both solace and practical insights.
