I mean I can't even tell you what an eye-opener it was for me, and I found out a whole lot of stuff about what Tom had been doing and how sneaky he was.
Tom and Kathy were the perfect team, both in business and in marriage. But when addiction crept into their lives, it tested their partnership in ways they never imagined. In this heart-wrenching episode of Voices of Recovery, the couple opens up about their journey through the dark alleys of addiction and back into the light of recovery. Tom's battle with rheumatoid arthritis led him down a slippery slope of prescription opiate dependence.
His transformation was bewildering for Kathy, who found herself managing his addiction with creativity and unwavering love. Yet, no matter how strong their bond, addiction strained their relationship to its breaking point. The turning point came when Kathy reluctantly joined Serenity Lane's family program, committing to eight full weekend days. Though initially resistant, she discovered invaluable insights into addiction and learned how to be a supportive partner in Tom's recovery.
Their story isn't just about one man's struggle; it's a vivid portrayal of how addiction impacts everyone involved. Tom and Kathy's journey underscores the significance of love, perseverance, and community support in overcoming addiction. Their experience is a poignant reminder that reaching out for help is crucial, not just for the addict but for their loved ones too.
Tune in to hear Tom and Kathy's compelling narrative and find out how they managed to rebuild their lives and relationship through sheer determination and mutual support.
