I refuse to ever be silent, ever, you know, ever, because there's no reason for any of us to have shame, and that's what I love the most about my job is screaming to not be ashamed, you know, to live your life, be proud of what you've lived through.
Imagine finding the strength to stay sober just months into your recovery, only to face a heart-wrenching tragedy. In this episode of 'Chasing Heroine: Addiction Recovery Podcast', hosts Jeannine Coulter Lindgren and Narcan Nate sit down with Amanda, whose story is nothing short of remarkable. Three months into her Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) recovery, Amanda's husband tragically passed away from an overdose.
Left to navigate her grief while suddenly becoming a single mother to two young children, Amanda's journey is a testament to resilience and determination. Despite the immense loss and the suspect circumstances surrounding her husband's death, Amanda managed to stay sober and rebuild her life. Today, she works for Wake Up, Carolina, a non-profit organization in Charleston dedicated to recovery advocacy and support.
Amanda shares her experiences with MAT recovery, the stigma surrounding addiction, and the importance of sharing personal stories to break the silence and shame often associated with addiction. Throughout the episode, you'll hear about Narcan training, harm reduction advocacy, and the critical role Recovery Community Organizations (RCOs) play in supporting those on their recovery journey. Amanda's story is a powerful reminder that even in the face of unimaginable tragedy, recovery and success are possible.
Her journey offers hope and inspiration to anyone touched by addiction, whether personally or through a loved one.
