How do you guide your children through a crisis when your own past is filled with them? In this deeply personal episode of Seeds of Recovery, host Gerald Lott, a father with 17 years of continuous sobriety, confronts the unique challenges of parenting in recovery.

When his teenage daughter faces a painful social situation, Gerald must navigate his own internal struggles. He candidly shares his fears of passing down addictive tendencies, battles with self-worth, and the lingering self-stigma that many in recovery face. This episode explores the difficult balance between the reactive instincts from a life on the streets and the mindful responses learned through years of sobriety.

This is a heartfelt look at breaking generational cycles and teaching resilience. It's for every parent in recovery who has ever worried if their past will define their children's future. You're not alone in these complex feelings.
