Welcome back to the Embrace Family Recovery Podcast! Today, I’m excited to welcome back my friend and previous guest, William Cope Moyers!
William returns to discuss life and recovery since the release of his groundbreaking book Broken in 2006. His ongoing journey is now beautifully captured in his latest book, Broken Open. Moyers opens up about his unexpected return to opiate use following a dental procedure, illustrating the unpredictable and non-linear nature of addiction.
He explores the complexities of recovery, not just as an individual struggle but as a family process, addressing the often-overlooked role of codependency. Moyers delves into the importance of medication in his healing, and the ongoing need to stay teachable and open to change. Whether you’re in recovery, supporting someone on their journey, or just seeking insight into the human experience of addiction, this conversation offers valuable lessons in resilience, hope, and the power of self-compassion.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
