In this week's Safe Home Podcast, Beth talks with podcaster, motivational speaker, and writer Lona (LC) Currie. LC has recovered from long-term drug and alcohol misuse, and after he became stable as a sober person, he transitioned to his true gender. He was considered a "lost cause" by many, but now he is openly sharing his addiction experience to give others hope that recovery is always possible. His story will encourage everyone to come back home to their authentic selves. =============== 💌 Sign up for our Safe Home Families email list: http://eepurl.com/hVIAVX =============== RESOURCES: Lona (LC) Currie's information: Transgender Mentor Podcast: https://anchor.fm/transgendermentor YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmYPVfkzYCuCKbqeBqCM1vg Recovery Soulfood Podcast: https://anchor.fm/recoverysoulfood YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RecoverySoulfood Other Resources: Other Parents Like Me - https://www.facebook.com/other.parents.like.me Heather Ross - Life Coaching for Parents of Addicted Teens: https://heatherrosscoaching.com/ Find a Tele-Therapist: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/online-counseling =============== Safe Home is created by Joseph Nakao and Beth Syverson Music written and performed by Joseph Nakao Cover art by Joseph Nakao, photo by Beth Syverson Email questions or comments to Safe Home at [email protected] Find us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube Support Safe Home on Patreon =============== TIME STAMPS 1:24 LC's Transgender Mentor podcast 3:30 The start of LC's addiction at age 11 5:47 LC's advice for parents offering kids alcohol because "they'll do it anyway" 6:51 The progression of LC's addiction beyond alcohol 11:14 Moving to opiates 15:57 Suicide attempts and accidents 17:40 LC's recovery story 19:30 Dealing with the core issues 25:00 Starting gender transition 26:50 The path back to LC's authentic self 31:47 The shift that Covid has created 37:45 Enabling v.
