Listen Later

In this episode, we sit down with Dana White-Guerrie, a woman who has overcome addiction and trauma to become a strong advocate for recovery and sobriety. Dana shares her personal journey with addiction and the challenges she faced, including the concept of bonding through trauma and the impact it had on her identity and relationships. She also discusses the importance of focusing on hope and positivity in recovery, rather than dwelling on past traumas. 

Dana opens up about her experiences with cross addictions, the power of communication and education in breaking the cycle of addiction, and the unexpected opportunities that have come with her sobriety. 

We also hear from host Gary Menkes, who shares his own struggles with alcoholism and how he has found strength and support in the recovery community. Join us as we delve into the complexities of addiction and the power of overcoming it with courage, determination, and a supportive community. 

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has experienced addiction or knows someone who has, as Dana's story is a testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit.
