NAD 18-02 Co-dependence the addiction that screams the loudest and is heard the least

January 1, 2018January 22, 2022Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

The Nature of Addictions with Sara Troy and her guest Roslyn Saunders, on air from January 9th

Roslyn Saunders

Entrepreneur, author, speaker, educator. Roslyn Saunders is all these things, however, the role she considers warrants most kudos, is that of addiction recovery advisor.

Born into a family with a rich heritage of debilitating addictions, Roslyn was ‘soaking in it’. Both parents were substance abusers. Her father, an alcoholic, was dead at 48. Her mother, a perennial Valium consumer, never recovered when at 55, she suffered a stroke and died some years later where she was institutionalised. Both were heavy smokers. Although not aware at the time, Roslyn now understands their behaviour, while destructive, was nothing compared to the insidious disease going on inside them.

Not heart disease, cancer or obesity, her parents were suffering from co-dependence or addiction.

Now an author of the compelling and practical guide, Co-dependence – the addiction that screams the loudest and is heard the least, Roslyn is well versed on the subject. In her words, co-dependence is about dealing with our addiction for using people, places and things to replace what we perceive are missing.

A PhD in Co-dependence

With brutal candour, Roslyn will tell you she married an alcoholic she could compromise her values too. Built successful businesses where she could indulge a desperate need for overwork. And produced a family of four children to continue the tradition. She will tell you she did everything to avoid the train wreck that inevitably came in marriage breakdown, financial challenges in business, and losing it all.

Though difficult, this was nothing compared to dealing with the addictions which emerged in her children who as teenagers succumbed to alcohol, heroin and marijuana. Roslyn experienced years of extraordinary duress, dealing with defiant, abusive kids, visits to rehab centres and prison, remaining hyper-vigilant about her children’s safety. On admittance to the hospital’s psychiatric ward when finally overwhelmed, she begged hospital staff to let her die.

What Roslyn will now tell you is her deep gratitude for this experience, which afforded her the insights and wisdom to address co-dependent behaviour in herself. Now with the benefit of a lifetime’s experience (and a Ph D in co-dependence), she is now inspiring greatness in others who are navigating a pathway to recovery.

Roslyn brings a practical and grounded approach to work with and inspires people to face challenges in personal and professional life. The first to acknowledge it is a lifelong process, she draws on her vast experience and learning to educate clients to navigate meaningful, sustainable change and live more balanced lives.

TSM 15/35 I Walked away from Addiction

August 26, 2015September 7, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 2 Comments

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Jayda Jay, originally aired September 1st/15

This interview is for anyone struggling who believes the life they’re living now is unchangeable. I’m living proof there is a solution to the disease of addiction. It’s up to you to choose to hear me and take your own path to recovery, it can be done.

My yesterday and my today, I am now really living and not avoiding life

8 months ago I checked myself into a detox facility where I embarked on this life long recovery journey. I was literally empty. Bankrupt in every sense of the word, in every form imaginable. Physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually & most definitely financially. Today, I am a changed person. I live a life of freedom. I don’t have to depend on a substance just to be able to get out of bed. I take care of my body, mind, my soul and spirit. My life is rich with family, friends and a support network of people who I can always trust. I am beyond grateful to be given such an amazing opportunity to live the life I was truly always meant to live. 1 out of 10 people suffers from the disease of addiction. 10% of the population. Sadly, very few take the opportunity to receive help yet it is available to us all so freely. Especially in British Columbia. Many think it’s impossible. Through education, rehabilitation, therapy & an abstinence-based recovery program I received the help I needed.

P14/33b “LESSONS Crime, Games & Pain”

August 7, 2014June 26, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Positive Living Vibrations with Sara Troy and her guest Scott Magri. Aired August 19th/14 on

Every so often a book of powerful honesty comes along to jog us out of our comfortable existence. Lessons is such a book. Author Scott Magri has lived the painful life of drugs, crime and physical brutality, and Lessons tells that story in his own words. He pulls no punches in the telling of this story, particularly when it comes to his own failings, but he firmly believes that the lessons he has learned so far in this lifetime were meant to be learned so that he might fulfil a higher purpose. Lessons chronicles Scott Magri’s forty-four years on this planet, the lessons he’s learned along the way, and his real purpose for being. His greatest hope is that his story will spark in others a desire to examine their own life in order to discover their own true purpose.

Scott Magri was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, now lives in Pitt Meadows, B.C. His story tells of a life of drugs, crime and physical brutality that began as a bullied youngster. He tells his story in his own words, so don’t expect great prose. He tells of the lessons that he has learned and the impact they have had on him. Now, at 44, and out of that life, he is looking forward to a purposeful future and hopes others will read what can happen in this crazy world that is called ‘life’. A must read: “LESSONS Crime, Games & Pain”

Scott says “When I made the decision to write this book, I was going to dig down deep and tell every single thing in hopes that it would help other people,” says Magri.

“If I told only half of it, it wouldn’t do what it’s supposed to do.”

Magri decided to start writing after his third suicide attempt.

“I felt my body was somewhere else. There was a message there,” he says.

Magri bought a computer and began typing the next day.

As soon as he started writing, he got chills and goosebumps. It was the start of his catharsis.

Magri soon used began using words as a way to deal with his demons brought on by years of drug abuse, criminal activity, broken relationships and aggression.

Scott now works with the police in helping kids prevent living a life or crime drugs and fear, he is an exemplary example of how life can be turned around when we decide to embrace our true value and not feed the fear hate or greed. He is open honest and in action to live a life of truth and purpose and helps others to leave crime behind. He is in resurrecting an old sanctuary called the Katzie Slough so that others may find peace and harmony in a sacred spot.
