Marney Winfield's Candid Tale of Addiction and Recovery

I didn't want to talk about all the things that had happened to me. And that's the addiction part, because obviously you didn't want to die and you actually, deep down, did not want to die.

Marney Winfield, co-host of the 217 Recovery Podcast, opens up about her personal journey through the highs and lows of addiction and the road to recovery. In this heartfelt episode, Marney shares raw memories from her days as a cocktail waitress and bartender during college, painting a vivid picture of how her substance use spiraled out of control.
She doesn't shy away from discussing the impact her addiction had on her relationships with friends and family, and the moment she realized she needed to make a change. Through candid reflections, Marney emphasizes the crucial role of family and community in her recovery. She talks about how her mother's unwavering support became a lifeline during her darkest times.
Marney also delves into the importance of self-reflection and setting goals, recounting how revisiting her childhood dreams helped her find a new sense of purpose in sobriety. One of the most challenging aspects Marney discusses is making amends with those she hurt during her active addiction. She speaks honestly about the difficulty of facing past mistakes but highlights the importance of vulnerability and acceptance in moving forward.
