I think what you guys have gone through- we're a lot alike in so many ways, and that's why I burst into tears, because I didn't think that you know going through tragedy and having gone through one phase of trauma.
Imagine facing the battle of addiction head-on, not as an individual, but as a family. In this episode of 'Having A Cuppa with Chris Nell', listeners are introduced to the inspiring mother-daughter duo, Christy Chavez and Nicole Apedaile. Chris takes us to the Beehive State, where Christy and Nicole share their deeply personal story of dealing with a loved one's heroin addiction.
They recount the heart-wrenching moment they discovered their family member's struggle and the ongoing fight to break the stigma surrounding addiction. Christy also opens up about the additional challenge of losing her husband and how she managed to move forward with resilience and strength. This conversation is not just about the struggles; it's also about hope, recovery, and the importance of empathy.
The duo discusses the opioid epidemic's impact on their community and offers practical advice for those supporting loved ones through recovery. They also touch on the emotional toll of surviving cancer and trauma, highlighting how these experiences can shape one's health journey. With a blend of raw honesty and optimism, Christy and Nicole provide valuable insights and resources for anyone navigating similar paths.
This episode is a testament to the power of family support and the possibility of finding joy in sobriety.
