I just think there's a whole difference in men and women, the way that society views them. Anyway, but in recovery, not really, you know.
What happens when the challenges of motherhood intersect with the struggles of addiction? In this heartfelt episode of the Right Turn Radio Podcast, hosts Jon Cohan, Abby Dean, and Woody Giessmann sit down with Lauren Y. and Kim C., two mothers who have battled alcohol and opiate addictions. Their candid stories shed light on the unique hurdles faced by women in recovery, especially those with children.
Lauren and Kim open up about their journeys, sharing raw and honest accounts of their battles with shame, guilt, and societal expectations. They discuss how these feelings are often magnified for mothers, who are expected to be pillars of strength for their families. Through their narratives, you'll gain insight into the stigmas surrounding addiction and how they can differ between men and women. The episode also highlights the importance of gender-responsive treatment programs and family-centered recovery.
The hosts emphasize how crucial it is for mothers and children to heal together, breaking the cycle of addiction within families. As Lauren poignantly states, "I just think there's a whole difference in men and women, the way that society views them. Anyway, but in recovery, not really, you know". This episode isn't just about struggles; it's about finding strength and support. It's a compassionate look at the importance of self-care and community in the recovery process.
Whether you're a mother in recovery, know someone who is, or are simply interested in understanding more about addiction, this episode offers valuable perspectives and hope.
