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.
