In this compelling episode of Facing Addiction Podcast, we delve into the life of Marci Cagen, a woman whose journey through addiction and recovery offers profound insights into the power of vulnerability, empathy, and transformation. With more years in recovery than the age at which she began her sober journey, Marci's story is one of profound change and deep self-reflection.
Marci speaks candidly about the depths of her addiction, including the incredibly difficult experiences of using drugs during her pregnancy and the dark places her addiction took her. Unlike many recovery stories where the turning point is an external event, Marci's moment of realization was deeply internal. As an empath, the profound loneliness and disconnection she felt from those around her was her own version of hell on earth.
Despite numerous attempts to find her path to recovery in her early 20s, Marci's resilience and determination finally led her to a turning point where recovery "stuck." Now, with an incredible perspective on the process of healing, Marci dedicates her life to helping other women navigate the tumultuous journey of recovery. Her story is not just about overcoming addiction, but about addressing the emotional and psychological challenges that underpin it.
Listeners will be moved by Marci's vulnerability as she shares her experiences and the lessons learned along the way. Her insights into empathy, the importance of connection, and the transformative power of understanding one's own emotions in recovery are particularly impactful. Marci's journey is a testament to the fact that recovery is not just about abstaining from substances but about finding a deeper connection to oneself and others.
