Alex Jeffs-McCrae: From Darkness to Light Through Recovery

When I'm in the throes of addiction, I'm the best liar... All four of my ex-wives they'd say: you're an alcoholic and I'd say, no, I just drink a lot.
Alex Jeffs-McCrae's story is one of resilience and transformation. Picture a mother grappling with postpartum depression, navigating a tough divorce, and raising three kids in a conservative community. Alex turned to meth and heroin as a way to cope, becoming a master at hiding her addiction. Her journey, shared on 'Odyssey House Journals', sheds light on the complexities of addiction and the pivotal role of support in recovery.
Alex candidly discusses how her relationship with an addict and personal trauma led her down a dark path. But her story doesn't end there. With the unwavering support of her father and the resources at Odyssey House, Alex found her way back. She embraced fitness, nutrition, community service, and creative arts as part of her healing process.
Her message of accountability—'just because that happened doesn't mean it's someone else's fault'—resonates deeply, offering hope and inspiration to anyone on a similar journey. Tune in to hear Alex's powerful narrative and gain valuable insights into the multifaceted nature of addiction and recovery.
