I wish I would have known that there is a solution.
Imagine starting life in an environment where addiction is the norm. That's exactly how Morgan Pagels' journey began. Growing up in an alcoholic home, Morgan was exposed to the harsh realities of addiction from a tender age. By ten, she had already started using substances, and things quickly spiraled out of control. A high school injury led to prescribed opiates, which then escalated to daily heroin use. Her life hit rock bottom as she faced homelessness and arrest.
But that's not where her story ends. Morgan found the strength to enter treatment and begin a journey towards recovery that would transform her life. Now married with two young boys, she and her husband, who is also in long-term recovery, are raising their family in a sober environment. Morgan's candid discussion on 'The Courage to Change: A Recovery Podcast' offers a raw look at her struggles and triumphs.
She talks about the importance of addressing intergenerational trauma and how Al-Anon and ACOA provided tools that were more beneficial than therapy. Motherhood has given her new insights into her past, allowing her to heal by providing the nurturing environment she wished she had. Morgan's story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding hope and courage in the darkest times. Tune in to hear her powerful narrative and gain inspiration for your own journey.
