The Embrace Family Recovery Podcast
Join host Margaret Swift Thompson a Hazelden Betty Ford counselor for over 20 years in the field of chemical dependency. Along with her guests they will explore the stories, experiences, struggles and victories of people who loves someone with the disease of addiction. The Embrace Family Recovery Podcast was born out of the passion Margaret feels about giving a voice to the family experience, which is rarely heard, and sadly under served. If you love someone who is addicted, grab a cup of coffee and listen to our conversations. You will hear your story and strategies to stop being held hostage by the disease.

The Embrace Family Recovery Podcast
Ep 163 - Life on Life's Terms, Takes Lots of Twists and Turns in Being Broken Open.
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.
