It was The Greatest Day of my life, literally because you find out who you are, you get your life back and you realize I'm not living in that hell anymore and I don't have to.
Picture this: you're a mother juggling a million tasks, and on top of that, you're trying to recover from addiction. How do you find the time to take care of yourself? In this episode of 'Recovery Unscripted', host David Condos sits down with addiction coach Rosemary O’Connor to explore the unique challenges mothers face in recovery. O'Connor dives into the nitty-gritty of how treatment providers can support moms who are often overwhelmed by daily demands.
She talks about the guilt many mothers feel regarding their family relationships and the pervasive wine-mom culture that can make recovery even harder. O’Connor shares practical tips on how moms can slow down and prioritize their own well-being, emphasizing the importance of self-care and community support. She also sheds light on the scarcity of resources and funding for treatment centers tailored specifically for mothers.
Her personal mission to give back to the recovery community is both inspiring and informative, offering real-world advice that can make a difference. If you're a mom struggling with addiction or know someone who is, this episode is a must-listen. O'Connor's wisdom and experience provide a roadmap for navigating the complexities of motherhood and recovery, making it clear that taking care of yourself is not just important—it's essential.
