I think, while I was up here, I think the elements have to be right. So maybe talk about that if it's happened. Yeah and Mrs McDonough have come through unbelievably and had made us all closer in trying to figure out what to do for you, something that I hadn't seen for years.
In this heartfelt episode of 'Hope Dealer', Ed McDonough invites a very special guest—his mother, Alice McDonough. As the CEO of GateHouse Treatment and someone in long-term recovery, Ed has shared many stories of addiction and recovery. This time, he flips the script to reveal the journey through his mother's eyes. Alice opens up about her emotional rollercoaster, from denial to acceptance, as she watched her son battle substance misuse.
She talks candidly about the warning signs she missed and the moment she realized Ed needed help. Her story underscores the critical role family support plays in recovery and the importance of seeking help early on. Ed and Alice also tackle the stigma surrounding addiction, sharing their own fears and experiences with judgment. They highlight how finding the right support system can make all the difference in the recovery journey.
This episode offers a unique and touching perspective that will resonate with anyone affected by addiction, providing hope and encouragement for both those struggling and their loved ones.
