Hope opens up about her early struggles with self-worth and how it led her down a path of substance abuse, ultimately finding redemption in rehab and the supportive community of Narcotics Anonymous (NA). She emphasizes the importance of service work and the fear of complacency in maintaining her sobriety.

Shawn follows, detailing his tumultuous journey through repeated incarcerations and his eventual breakthrough at an NA meeting. He shares the importance of the 12-step program in overcoming his addiction, the transformative power of the Serenity Prayer, and the joy of giving back to the community. Both narratives highlight the critical role of community, personal growth, and spirituality in their ongoing recovery journeys.

The Freecovery Podcast and FRAA have no affiliation with 12-Step Fellowships. Nevertheless, we believe in the experience, strength, and hope shared by addicts and alcoholics in recovery.
