The decision to really get clean, I believe, was my decision. To get us things even to a point of you know my year job or career. I don't think we can do it by ourselves, but right there, at the very end, it really kind of opened my eyes- that there's no way we can do this ourselves.
Meet Ashley and Roger Bedsole, a couple whose journey through addiction and recovery is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. In this episode of 'The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return', they open up about their shared battle with substance abuse and their triumphant path to sobriety.

Their story begins with prescription drugs, used initially to cope with stress, spiraling into heroin and fentanyl addiction. Despite multiple attempts to quit, they found themselves unable to break free alone. It wasn't until they decided to tackle their addiction together in rehab that they began to see lasting change.
Now, three years clean and sober, they discuss the challenges they faced, from dealing with withdrawal to maintaining sobriety while homeschooling their kids. Ashley and Roger emphasize the crucial role of support from loved ones in their recovery. They also highlight the importance of finding hope, even when faced with repeated setbacks.

Whether you're seeking advice, comfort, or just a bit of inspiration, this episode offers valuable insights into the power of unity and resilience in the face of addiction.
