William Cope Moyers: A Life Rebuilt from Addiction

That work wasn't going to protect me from the disease being cunning, baffling, powerful and patient, but it was going to give me a purpose, and I think that purpose, that vocation, that voice, is all about me standing up and speaking out and exposing myself as a person that I am and thus helping other people.
Ever wondered what it takes to rebuild your life after addiction? In this episode of 'The Embrace Family Recovery Podcast', Margaret Swift Thompson sits down with William Cope Moyers, a man who has walked the challenging path of recovery and lived to tell the tale. William's memoir, 'Broken', published in 2006, offers a raw and honest look at his battle with substance use disorder and his journey towards long-term recovery.
But there's more to his story than what's on the pages of his book. In this candid conversation, William opens up about the ongoing struggles and triumphs he and his family have faced since 'Broken' was published. He also shares poignant letters from his father, Bill Moyers, that highlight the ripple effects of addiction on loved ones. This episode is a testament to the complexity of addiction and the resilience required to overcome it.
William's story isn't just about his own recovery; it's about the collective healing that happens within a family affected by addiction. If you're looking for a dose of inspiration and a deeper understanding of what it means to support someone through their recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen.
