Recovery Podcast Supporting Sobriety,
Stroke, and Emotional Healing
Recovery Journey
Rachel Abbassi, a stroke survivor and grateful recovering alcoholic, has marked ten years of sobriety. Severe post-stroke symptoms have left her with neurological vision impairment known as a vestibular disorder. This disability has redirected her on a renewed focus on recovery.
Amidst these changes, Rachel made a conscious decision to document her recovery journey through her voice. The Recovery Daily Podcast embodies Rachel’s approach to life—an unwavering focus on the possibilities that lie ahead rather than dwelling on what she has lost. Sharing her experience, strength, and hope is a catalyst for healing in both herself and others.
Join Rachel as she navigates dual recovery while embracing lessons learned and and the joy found in each step forward.
