Imagine growing up with a father who was once an undercover narcotics agent, only to become a drug smuggler. That's the reality Lynn Walker faced, and she opens up about it in this episode of 'Recovery Survey'. Lynn, the author of 'Midnight Calling: A Memoir of a Drug Smuggler's Daughter', dives deep into her tumultuous childhood and how her father's addiction shaped her life.
But it's not just about her dad; Lynn also candidly shares her own battles with addiction and the path she took to find recovery. Host Brett Morris navigates this emotional journey with Lynn, offering listeners a raw and honest look at the psychological grip of cocaine addiction and the hurdles one faces on the road to sobriety. Lynn's story isn't just about struggle; it's about resilience and the power of support systems in overcoming life's toughest challenges.

Now, as the Executive Director of an environmental organization in the Pacific Northwest, she brings a unique perspective on recovery and healing. Her memoir serves as a beacon of hope, illustrating how storytelling can be a powerful tool for healing.
