This is a disease and so often people are made to feel embarrassed and ashamed, shameful.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after battling addiction for decades? Meet Sue Bright, a remarkable woman with over 30 years of experience in the addiction treatment field. In this episode of 'Let The Journey Begin', hosted by Hilary Roberts and Jaana Woodbury, Sue opens up about her personal journey and the invaluable lessons she's learned along the way. Early in her marriage, Sue found herself supporting her husband through his own struggles with addiction.
Little did she know, she would soon be facing her own battle. It wasn't until she started focusing on the similarities in their symptoms that she realized she, too, was grappling with addiction. Now, 32 years sober, Sue shares the pillars of her recovery: regular meetings, a solid support system of like-minded women, and a trusted spiritual adviser.
Drawing from her role as the Executive Director at New Directions For Women, Sue discusses the unique challenges women face in recovery and why women-only facilities can be more effective. She also touches on the impact of trauma and the benefits of treatment programs that allow mothers to bring their children. The episode wraps up with Sue reflecting on how the pandemic has affected addiction recovery and the importance of self-reflection and personal growth.
Whether you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Sue's story offers a beacon of hope and practical advice.
