My passion is to help people find the success that I have found, and whatever that looks like for them is what that looks like for them.
What happens when recovery becomes a family affair? In this episode of 'Recovery Coast to Coast', Neil Scott sits down with Lydia Clemons to share a remarkable story of resilience and support. Lydia’s journey began when she encouraged her husband to seek treatment for his addiction, only to discover her own struggles with alcohol. This realization led her to enter treatment right after her husband completed his.
Fast forward 32 years, and both Lydia and her husband are not only still sober but have also seen two of their children embark on their own recovery journeys. Lydia opens up about the complexities of balancing motherhood with addiction recovery, emphasizing the critical role of a robust support system. She credits her success to having a dedicated sponsor, therapist, and marriage counselor. Lydia also discusses the importance of continuous learning and professional growth in the field of addiction recovery.
She highlights the value of attending conferences like those hosted by Sundown M Ranch, where caregivers can gain insights from top speakers and connect with peers. The episode wraps up with a heartfelt reminder about the power of gratitude in sustaining long-term recovery. Whether you're navigating your own path to sobriety or supporting someone who is, Lydia’s story offers inspiration and practical advice. Tune in for an episode filled with hope, perseverance, and valuable lessons.
