Healing Generations: A Son's Journey from Addiction to Reconciliation

Recovery is possible, and it can restore not only your life but your relationships and emotional well-being. It's a blessing, and I feel very blessed to be able to do this work.
Imagine growing up in the shadow of a father struggling with addiction, only to find yourself walking the same path years later. In this heartfelt episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods invites a guest to share his deeply personal story of battling addiction and the transformative power of recovery. This isn’t just about kicking a habit; it’s about mending broken bonds and healing emotional wounds.
The guest opens up about how his journey to sobriety led to a renewed relationship with his father, offering a glimpse into the complex dynamics of family and addiction. He talks candidly about the pivotal role treatment played in his recovery, emphasizing the importance of forgiveness and making amends. The conversation touches on common misconceptions about alcoholism, shedding light on the stigmas that often hinder recovery.
Spirituality also takes center stage, as the guest reveals how it became a cornerstone of his healing process. For those intrigued by how addiction is portrayed in media, the episode also dives into movies like 'My Name Is Bill W.' and 'When Love Is Not Enough', exploring their impact on public perception.
This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting a loved one through it, illustrating that recovery is not just possible but can lead to stronger, more meaningful relationships.
