Recovery with Jane Davis - Ep 17

Rev. Jane Davis has a story that will resonate with anyone who's faced the uphill battle of addiction. In this episode of the Safe Home Podcast, hosted by Beth Syverson, Jane opens up about her journey to recovery from alcohol addiction. But what makes her story stand out is her exploration of alternative recovery methods beyond the well-known 12-step Alcoholics Anonymous model.

Jane's path led her to the Oxford House, a self-help and self-governance community that played a pivotal role in her sobriety. She also delves into other supportive communities like Women for Sobriety, Men for Sobriety, Refuge Recovery, and SMART Recovery. These alternatives offer different perspectives and techniques for those seeking sobriety, proving that there's no one-size-fits-all solution to addiction recovery. Jane's experiences as a formerly incarcerated person add another layer to her compelling narrative.

She emphasizes the importance of real connections and family support in overcoming addiction and mental health struggles. As she poignantly puts it, 'We're not just healing the person who has the addiction, we're healing the whole family'. If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on alternative recovery paths, this episode is a must-listen.
