In this powerful episode of The Recovery Centered Podcast, Beth sits down with Lee, a Beachway alum, who bravely shares his journey through addiction, emotional trauma, and recovery. Raised by a controlling mother and a passive father, Lee grew up in a home where boundaries were impossible to set—and the long-term emotional toll led to years of self-medicating with alcohol.
Now sober since October 2023, Lee opens up about what it took to reclaim his life in his 50s. From childhood trauma and hidden diagnoses to transformative therapy and finding community, Lee’s story is a moving reminder that it’s never too late to heal—and that recovery is possible with support, boundaries, and grace.
