Brittany & Becky: Celebrating Recovery as a Family: "I got my daughter back."

#36:  For the first time in Rise Recover Live Podcast history we’re dropping two episodes in one week… and Brittany and Becky are the perfect duo to break the mold!  
In our conversation, Brittany shares her experience of substance use and recovery, alongside her mom, Becky (also known as “Mom” by much of the Tampa Phoenix community), who reflects on years of feeling afraid for her daughter, and isolated in her family’s suffering.  

It’s hard to imagine the two as anything but deeply connected, but their closeness was hard earned.  

• We discuss Brittany’s path to addiction and the road to recovery; some of which was paved by her father,
• Becky’s struggle to support her kids while her husband was working and navigating his own recovery,
• How deeply the entire family feels the pain from substance use disorder, and what it’s like to be on both sides of the experience,
• The healing power of community not only for those in recovery, but their family and friends,
• How Brittany brought The Phoenix to Tampa, and Becky’s role in making the community welcoming for supporters,
• Brittany’s role in Liz’s recovery, and full-circle revelations!
