I didn't get clean to be miserable, like, actually I've been clean and I had a lot of fun.
Have you ever wondered how faith and community can play a pivotal role in overcoming addiction? In this episode of 'The Empty Chair', host Sean Crowley sits down with two inspiring guests, Linda S. and John M., to celebrate Recovery Month. Linda opens up about her journey to sobriety, emphasizing the importance of staying connected with other women in recovery and how her spirituality has been a guiding force.
Now five years sober, Linda has rebuilt her relationships and found joy in being a mother, daughter, sister, and friend. Her story is a testament to the never-ending gift of recovery. John shares his own powerful story of relapse after 16 years of sobriety and his subsequent return to the recovery community in 2015. He discusses the impact of survivor's guilt and how it can keep individuals stuck, but also how support groups can help break that cycle.
As the house manager at the Kelly House, John highlights the transformative power of helping others on their recovery journeys. Throughout the episode, Linda and John candidly discuss the challenges of rebuilding relationships post-addiction, the role of spirituality, and the importance of staying connected. They also touch on the dangers of relapse and the benefits of seeking help.
This episode is filled with laughter, deep reflections, and messages of hope, making it a must-listen for anyone on their own path to sobriety.
