Harry Cunnane: From Opioid Struggles to Sobriety and Service

So being able to go back and identify it- and that's where again, it doesn't matter what you use, whether it's alcohol, marijuana, it doesn't matter, you know- being able to identify with those feelings of this kind of deep shame and hopelessness, or whatever somebody's going through, to say that I've been there and I didn't necessarily believe that it would get better either.
Harry Cunnane's story is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit. In this episode of 'The Payoff with Pete', host Pete Sousa sits down with Harry, who has battled opioid addiction and emerged nearly a decade sober. Harry's journey is not just about overcoming addiction but also about breaking the stigma that surrounds it. His mother, Madeleine Dean, was launching a successful political career while Harry was hitting rock bottom.
This contrast highlights the often-hidden struggles families face when dealing with addiction. Harry has authored two books on recovery and dedicates his life to helping others find their path to sobriety. He serves as the Regional Vice President for Caron Treatment Centers, giving back to the very institution that played a crucial role in his recovery.
In this candid conversation, Harry opens up about the importance of community support, the role of vulnerability in healing, and the transformative power of self-validation. Listeners will find Harry's insights on how addiction impacts families particularly enlightening. He discusses how service and engaging in fulfilling activities have been vital in maintaining his sobriety. Harry believes that connecting with others who share similar experiences is essential for healing and change.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone affected by addiction, whether directly or through a loved one. Tune in for an inspiring tale of hope, resilience, and the possibility of a brighter future.
