Too Much To Lose
In this episode of Dopenly Honest, host Zavian Dre sits down with Lindsey Wood for a real, down-to-earth conversation about addiction, recovery, and motherhood.
Lindsey opens up about growing up in chaos; where addiction, incarceration, and instability were part of everyday life and how such early experiences shaped the path she would later walk herself. What started as a way to cope and belong slowly turned into addiction, leading to jail time, the loss of custody of her children, and years spent carrying heavy guilt and shame while trying to get sober.
With honesty and grace, Lindsey talks recovery, the boundaries that have saved her life, and what it truly means to treat addiction like the disease it is. She shares why harm reduction, medication-assisted treatment, and meeting people where they are can make the difference between life and death—especially here in Kentucky, where so many families are touched by addiction.
Today, Lindsey works in the recovery field, supporting individuals and families as they rebuild trust, reunite with loved ones, and start again. Her story is a powerful reminder that healing happens through connection.
This episode is for anyone who:
Feels stuck and wonders if it’s too late
Loves someone who’s struggling
Works in recovery or wants to understand it better
Needs a little hope after things have fallen apart
As Lindsey reminds us: You matter. You are loved. And help is closer than you think.
