John McAndrew: Finding Recovery Through Music and Forgiveness

Music is kind of the way that helps me to articulate, because I know the opposite of it is to just feel stuck and feel this horrible fear and burden and you don't know what it is
Ever wondered how music can mend a broken soul? John McAndrew, a national recording artist and songwriter, joins Mary Woods in this heartfelt episode of 'One Hour AT A Time' to share his incredible journey through addiction, mental illness, and the redemptive power of music. John opens up about his personal battles and how he found solace and strength in his music, which became a lifeline during his recovery.
But it’s not just about the melodies; John dives deep into the crucial role forgiveness plays in healing. He talks about the importance of forgiving others and, more importantly, forgiving oneself. This conversation is a touching reminder that recovery is a multifaceted process, involving both emotional and spiritual growth. The episode also sheds light on how addiction and mental illness affect families and highlights the essential work of Westbridge Community Services in supporting those with co-occurring disorders.
Whether you’re struggling with addiction, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in the therapeutic power of music, this episode offers valuable insights and hope.
