Heather Lee: Embracing Self-Care on the Road to Recovery

I just try to keep the focus on myself and to stay in a loving place and to remember that it's not about love and not to take it personal and just let him take his journey for what it is, and it's a daily practice, and it has to be for me, because if I don't meditate on these things daily, it's easy to get sucked right back in.
Heather Lee's story is a poignant journey of battling addiction and codependency, shedding light on the struggles many families face. In this episode of 'Live Rite Tonight', Heather opens up about her experiences, starting with her relationship with her son's father, who was an addict. Initially, she believed she could help him, but his return to prison became a turning point. Heather realized she needed to prioritize her own well-being and that of her son.
Her path to recovery was anything but smooth, filled with moments of self-doubt and challenges. However, it was through these struggles that Heather discovered the importance of self-care. She talks candidly about learning to let go of control and accepting the journey, which became crucial elements in her recovery process. Heather emphasizes that self-love isn't a one-time achievement but a daily practice. Support groups and sponsors played a significant role in Heather's journey, providing the encouragement and accountability she needed.
Her story is a powerful reminder that while breaking the cycle of addiction is tough, it's achievable with patience, time, and a lot of self-love. Whether you're grappling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Heather's insights offer hope and practical advice. Tune in to hear her heartfelt narrative and find inspiration for your own recovery journey.
