Behind the Veil of Addiction: A Young Mother’s Journey to Freedom (Part 2)

In this episode of With Love, Jenny, I continue my deeply personal conversation with my daughter-in-law, Heather, as she courageously shares her journey through addiction and recovery. Her honesty and wisdom shed light on what it’s really like to walk both sides of that path — from active addiction to the daily work of sobriety.

We talk about the messy truth of healing — how recovery isn’t just about getting clean, but learning to live with integrity, rebuild trust, and rediscover self-worth. Heather opens up about what helped her most, what didn’t, and how love, boundaries, and community played a powerful role in her recovery.

If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, I hope this episode brings hope, compassion, and a reminder that recovery is possible — one day, one choice, one act of love at a time.

Key Takeaways:

• Sobriety is “messy but worth it.”
• Boundaries save lives — love can mean letting go.
• Community and hope are essential to healing.
