About this episode
Losing a Father to Addiction and Finding Purpose with Angie Nunez | The Hopeaholics PodcastIn this episode of The Hopeaholics Podcast, guest Angie Nunez shares her deeply personal journey of loss, healing, and spiritual awakening. Born and raised in the Bronx to Dominican parents, Angie reflects on her upbringing, cultural roots, and the challenges of growing up in a tight-knit immigrant family. She opens up about losing her father to addiction after his long battle with opioids and cancer, revealing how his passing inspired her to create her own show, Sins of My Father, to honor his story and shed light on the struggles of addiction and generational pain. Angie speaks candidly about her grief and the process of finding strength through self-awareness, spirituality, and faith. She discusses how her spiritual journey helped her reconnect with her father’s memory, embrace her shadow self, and release shame through forgiveness and understanding. The conversation also explores her marriage, motherhood, and her husband’s transition from military life to rediscovering purpose through service and compassion with their project A Meal with Humanity, which brings food and dignity to the homeless in New Jersey. Through vulnerability and resilience, Angie’s story embodies love, transformation, and the belief that even through loss, healing and light can emerge.#thehopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record’, exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.
