Reyna and Miaveya: A Mother-Daughter Tale of Healing and Recovery
My message is: I understand that you might not feel safe right now, but you can get through it, and certain programs, like the Betty Ford program, can help you so much, because all you really need is just that voice to let you know that you can do it.
Growing up, Reyna was no stranger to the devastating grip of alcohol. She witnessed her family crumble under the weight of addiction, with alcohol-related diseases claiming lives around her. Silence was her companion; she never had the words to voice her pain or seek help. But everything changed when her 10-year-old daughter, Miaveya, attended the Children's Program at Betty Ford. This program became a beacon of hope, guiding both mother and daughter towards a path of recovery.
In this heartfelt episode of 'Let's Talk Addiction & Recovery', hosted by William C. Moyers, Reyna and Miaveya open up about their journey through addiction and the transformative power of love, communication, and acceptance.

Listeners will find inspiration in their resilience and learn about the importance of breaking the cycle of silence. This episode is a touching reminder that even in the darkest times, hope and healing are possible through open communication and unwavering love.
