In today’s podcast, KL meets Mary Beth O’Connor, author of “From Junkie to Judge: One Woman’s Triumph Over Trauma and Addiction.” In this podcast, Mary Beth shares her journey of going from a lifetime of abuse, trauma, PTSD, and anxiety, to being sober and in recovery since 1994. Six years into her recovery, Mary Beth attended Berkeley Law, and in 2014 she was appointed as a federal Administrative Law Judge. Mary Beth shares three big takeaways in this podcast. First, that recovery is attainable even after 20 years of abuse, trauma, PTSD, and anxiety. Second, multiple pathways to successful recovery are absolutely possible. And third, raw and candid conversations can shatter the stigma of alcoholism. Mary Beth’s story is so powerful she has also been featured in publications such as The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, and Recovery Today. You don’t want to miss this episode!
