Women’s Stories

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

One of the biggest ways to shed the shame of addiction and build hope is to hear the stories of other women who are in recovery and moving forward in their lives. Below are a few of the episodes of the Worth Recovery podcast featuring women telling their stories and sharing their experiences.

Amy's Story

In episode 000, Amy shares a bit of her recovery journey and the story of Worth Recovery.  In a later episode, she reads her complete sexual addiction first step written in the early stages of recovery and talk about the value of a written first step.

Erica Garza has great courage.  In her memoir, Getting Off, she shares her journey through porn and sex addiction.  In an interview with Erica, she tells a bit about her journey in writing her story as well as some of the lessons she learned.  

Joyce's Story

As a young month of 3, Joyce was faced with a difficult situation.  She had been reported to Child Services as a neglectful parent.  Fortunately for her and her children, the day they showed up to investigate the claim, she was baking cookies with her children. Listen as Joyce shares how that day and experience changed her life and how over 10 years later, she had to begin the battle of recovery over again.
