Generational Substance Abuse: The Truth About Recovery and Relapse with Samantha Harte


Listen Later

Samantha’s rough childhood influenced her to find ways to escape through substance abuse. Coping mechanisms turned into a severe addiction to cocaine, alcohol, and prescription pills. She began to seek help in her 20s and through holistic 12-step programs began to make lasting change and recovery. Now Samantha is a speaker, coach, and author who helps others overcome addiction and dysfunctional family dynamics. According to Samantha, the key to recovery goes beyond sobriety; it’s about transforming your life by making amends with yourself. This sets the foundation for healing other relationships and fostering personal integrity. 

 

Samantha Blake Harte is a yoga-certified doctor of physical therapy, performing artist, and podcast host. With over twenty years in the fitness industry and fifteen years sober, Dr. Harte integrates her personal recovery journey with her professional expertise in functional biomechanics and movement pattern retraining. She hosts "The Truth about Addiction" podcast on Spotify and Apple, discussing addiction and recovery openly. Dr. Harte values vulnerability as her strength and strives to live and love wholeheartedly. She lives in Thousand Oaks, California, with her husband, Rob, and their two children, Jack and Charly.

 

In This Episode:

  • Early Environment And Effects on Addiction: The environment you grow up in significantly predisposes you to addictive behaviors. Growing up in a chaotic home like Samantha pushed her towards finding ways to escape, often through substances. Her experiences illustrate how children can inherit or learn dysfunctional coping strategies from their surroundings.

  • Recovery and Reconstructing Relationships: Samantha’s approach to recovery is holistic and comprehensive. It’s not just about overcoming substance abuse; it involves a deep reevaluation and reshaping of one's life. She advises adapting recovery steps to personally relevant issues, like relationships or self-image, to enhance the impact of recovery.

  • Healing Relationships for Inner Peace: A significant part of recovery involves healing damaged relationships, beginning with oneself. Make amends with yourself as the foundational step towards healing other relationships. This includes recognizing past mistakes, forgiving oneself, and committing to personal integrity moving forward.

  • Recovery Opens New Doors: Recovery is not merely about achieving sobriety; it's about holistic transformation and reclaiming one’s life from the grips of addiction. Samantha used her recovery journey to improve her personal and professional life, demonstrating that a fresh start can lead to remarkable new opportunities.
