Parenting in Recovery: Marijon's Journey of Resilience and Hope

So yeah, I think what has gotten me through is the relationship I have with a power greater than myself. Everybody gets a turn at it, and the really cool thing is that you don't have to do this alone.
Imagine navigating the rocky road of recovery while also being a single parent. In this episode of 'Recovery Untethered', Marijon opens up about her incredible journey of overcoming addiction while raising her daughter. From the heart-wrenching moments of living in a halfway house to the terrifying experiences on the streets, Marijon doesn't hold back. She shares the raw truth about the battles she faced, including being beaten and raped during her darkest days of addiction.
But it's not all about the struggles; Marijon’s story is also one of triumph and resilience. With over 20 years of sobriety under her belt, she has turned her life around and now dedicates herself to helping other women on their recovery journeys. She dives deep into the importance of relationships in early recovery, learning to detach with love, and the vital role a spiritual connection played in her healing process.
Marijon emphasizes that seeking support is crucial and encourages listeners to lean on their higher power and community for strength. This episode is a testament to the power of perseverance and the hope that recovery brings.
