EP 103 - What A Mess with Crystal Randall
from We Do Recover With Jared Miller Hosted by We Do Recover With Jared Miller
Guest Crystal Randall joins hosts, Dr. Terry Sellers & Counselor Jared Miller, to share the story she self-entitled "what a mess". Crystal shares about her childhood & what lead to her addiction. For many individuals, including Crystal, substances are introduced by older family members. She shares that part of her story is generational trauma. Crystal does a great job sharing about more than just the drugs! She shares about her battle with co-dependent relationships with men, losing physical custody of her children on multiple occasions, & her fight to get them back. It is pointed out that throughout all Crystal's story she may have had periods of abstinence from drugs, but within those periods she was not working a program of recovery. After a very personal spiritual experience, while incarcerated, Crystal found the motivation to "get her poop in a group". That motivation resulted in the seven years she has clean today! Today, Crystal is employed with a non-profit organization in Utah known as USARA. She uses her experience to help other mothers get clean & navigate the process of retaining or regaining their children from DCFS/CPS. This is a great episode to share with any mother who is currently going through this, help give them hope by sharing it with them.
