Texas Trailblazers and Ali McGraw on Recovery and Maturity

Instead of breaking up a relationship that felt too close, we tried to become more open and vulnerable and matured in the process.
Imagine chatting with a former ballet dancer turned professor, a top treatment advocate, and an award-winning actress all in one episode. That's exactly what Neil Scott brings to the table in this episode of 'Recovery Coast to Coast'. First up, you'll meet a former professional ballet dancer who has maintained 43 years of continuous recovery.
She opens up about her initial struggles with sobriety, including feelings of anger and indignation, and highlights the crucial role of spiritual connection in her journey. Her story is a testament to the power of perseverance and finding inner peace. Next, Neil sits down with the president of a statewide treatment advocacy organization, recently named one of Houston's 50 most influential women.
She shares her insights on the intertwined nature of mental health and addiction, stressing the importance of addressing both in treatment. Her discussion on the innovative tapnet program, designed to support those who help others heal, offers a fresh perspective on the future of addiction treatment. As if that weren't enough, actress Ali McGraw joins the conversation to reflect on what maturity in recovery means to her.
She talks about learning to walk through fear and discomfort, and the importance of becoming more open and vulnerable. Her words are both inspiring and grounding, offering a unique look at the emotional growth that comes with long-term recovery. Throughout the episode, these remarkable women emphasize the importance of peer support and honoring those who walk the path of recovery alongside us.
They also share their thoughts on the evolving landscape of addiction treatment, envisioning a future where support is more widely accessible. Whether you're on your own recovery journey, supporting someone else, or simply interested in powerful stories of resilience, this episode is packed with wisdom and inspiration. Tune in for an enlightening conversation that touches on everything from spiritual growth to innovative treatment programs.
