Yes, You Can Find Love in Recovery

from Recovery Vow · host Recovery Vow

On this episode of the Recovery Vow Podcast, host Eric Kennedy sits down with two very special guests — Zack Straughn and Katherine Straughn — and their story comes full circle in the most beautiful way. Katherine first joined the podcast in February 2025. Zack followed in May 2025. At the time, they each shared their individual journeys of recovery — stories marked by honesty, growth, and transformation. What no one fully saw coming? They would later find love in each other… and get married. In this heartfelt conversation, Eric brings them together to talk about what it looks like to build a relationship in recovery. Both Zack and Katherine are in recovery, but their struggles don’t define them — they are defined by resilience, faith, commitment, and love. Their story is a powerful reminder that recovery doesn’t disqualify you from a beautiful future. It doesn’t mean you have to walk alone. Healing and healthy love are possible. Together, they open up about: - Finding love while doing the hard work of recovery - Building trust, vulnerability, and spiritual intimacy - Navigating relationship dynamics with sobriety at the center - Why recovery is part of their story — but not the whole story If you’ve ever wondered whether lasting love is possible after addiction, this episode is for you.
