Once you start putting life together after recovery, that's the key, or the cornerstone, or something right is feeling good about yourself before you can really feel good about anything or anybody else.
Imagine facing the daunting challenge of overcoming addiction while raising children as a single mom. That's the reality Rosemary O'Conner faced, and her story is nothing short of inspiring. In this episode of 'Since Right Now', Rosemary opens up about her journey to sobriety, starting from the depths of guilt, shame, and fear that she once masked with alcohol.
Sober since 1999, she now channels her experiences into helping other women through ROC Recovery Services, a program she founded to provide comprehensive care for women battling addiction. Rosemary's insights are invaluable for anyone navigating the rocky path of recovery. She emphasizes the importance of self-care, taking life one day at a time, and finding moments of humor amidst the struggle.
But she doesn't stop there; she also delves into practical advice on talking to kids about drugs and alcohol and highlights the critical need for mental health support in breaking down the stigma surrounding addiction and medication. Through her story, Rosemary shows how seeking help and working with an addiction coach can be transformative. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a blend of hope, practical advice, and heartfelt encouragement.
