I did what they said, and all these things that they said was going to happen started happening.
What happens when heroin grips your life or the life of someone you love? In this compelling episode of Recovery Internet Radio, hosts Rick Atwater and Rob Ryberg sit down with Tommy, a recovering heroin addict, and Linda, a parent who faced the heartbreak of her child's addiction. Tommy opens up about his descent into addiction, the false comfort he found in drugs, and the monumental effort it took to climb out of that dark place.
He doesn't sugarcoat the struggles but highlights the moments of hope and the support that made his recovery possible. Linda offers a raw and heartfelt perspective on what it's like to watch your child battle addiction. She talks about the sleepless nights, the constant worry, and the helplessness she felt. Yet, she also shares how support groups and community became her lifeline, providing much-needed hope and strength.
Adding a unique touch to this episode is Maggie, a girlband singer whose powerful vocals are described as 'a voice like the Grand Canyon'. Her music serves as a backdrop to these emotional stories, adding an extra layer of depth and connection. This episode isn't just about the pain of addiction; it's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of community support.
Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Tommy and Linda's stories offer a beacon of hope and a reminder that recovery is possible.
