Sean Mahoney's Journey: From Hidden Struggles to Honest Recovery

Talking about the disease is just not allowed or tolerated, and the message sent to the kids is that they shouldn't talk about their problems even when everyone knows they are there.
Growing up with alcoholic parents is tough, but coming out in that environment adds another layer of complexity. In this episode of 'Full Potential, Now!', Ted Izydor sits down with writer and podcaster Sean Mahoney to unpack his life story. Sean opens up about his childhood in an alcoholic home, where talking about the disease was taboo. He shares how this upbringing taught him to present a perfect facade while hiding his struggles.
His relationship with alcohol was fraught from the beginning, leading to a decade-long battle with addiction. It wasn’t until a New Year's incident that he realized he needed help. The relief of coming clean about his addiction allowed him to embrace honesty and recovery fully. Ted and Sean's conversation sheds light on the often unspoken challenges of growing up in an alcoholic household and the journey to break free from addiction.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the deep-seated issues tied to addiction and the path to recovery.
