I think overcoming shame, learning that addiction is a disease and it shouldn't be something to be ashamed of, I think is a big step towards finding some peace of mind, no matter where your loved one is in this journey.
What does it take to find peace when someone you love is battling addiction? Twenty years ago, Beverly Conyers would have told you it was impossible. She believed acceptance meant giving up and would have done anything to keep her daughter safe. But after two decades of learning and living, her perspective has shifted dramatically. In this episode, William C. Moyers sits down with Conyers to explore her transformative journey from despair to self-discovery.
Conyers candidly shares how she learned to balance support and control, emphasizing the importance of self-care and letting go. She discusses the heavy burden of shame that often accompanies addiction and how understanding addiction as a disease can be a significant step towards peace of mind. Conyers' story is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling to support a loved one through addiction, highlighting the vital role of community and support networks in the recovery process.
Tune in for an enlightening conversation that offers practical advice and emotional comfort for those navigating these challenging waters.
