Neil Scott sits down with Karen Morgan, the director of Grace House, a programme dedicated to helping women in Memphis, Tennessee, overcome substance use disorders. Karen shares her heartfelt journey of addiction, recovery, and her ongoing mission to assist others. She recounts her early exposure to the 12-step community through her parents and the challenges she faced before achieving long-term sobriety.
Karen's story is one of resilience, as she describes how shame initially kept her from seeking help but gratitude brought her back into recovery.
