Tricia Ragusa: From Struggles to Strength in Recovery

Recovery is an invitation to this much more incredible existence, in my opinion, because it's taken me on a path that I never could have dreamed of.
Ever wondered how someone can transform their life after a decade of substance abuse? In this episode of 'Collateral Damage', hosts Maureen Cavanagh and Michael Wilson sit down with Tricia Ragusa, a certified addiction recovery coach, teacher, and single mother of four. Tricia opens up about her challenging journey through addiction and the remarkable path she took towards recovery. As an educator and mother, Tricia's story is both heart-wrenching and inspiring.
She shares candidly about the fear and shame that kept her trapped in addiction and the relief she found in finally seeking treatment. Remarkably, Tricia’s recovery didn’t include relapse—a testament to her determination and the support she received from one of the top treatment centers in the country. The conversation dives into the broader impacts of addiction on families and communities, touching on crucial topics like trauma and inner child healing.
Tricia’s advocacy work and forthcoming book on these subjects underscore the importance of addressing underlying issues in recovery. This episode isn't just about one woman's journey; it’s a beacon of hope for anyone affected by addiction. It highlights that recovery is possible and that there’s a brighter future waiting. Tune in to hear Tricia's powerful story and gain insights that could make a difference in your own or a loved one's life.
