I have a higher power now, which I choose to call god, but it's also my program. Now my life is my son...and I do recovery almost every day.
What does it take to break free from the chains of addiction? Lauren O's story offers a raw, unfiltered look into the journey of overcoming drug abuse and alcoholism. Growing up in a loving family, Lauren's descent into addiction began in middle school when she started smoking pot with a crowd that led her astray.
Her experimentation with substances like mescaline, shrooms, acid, and speed spiraled out of control, culminating in a harrowing moment when her husband found her passed out on the bathroom floor after snorting cocaine. This rock-bottom experience was a turning point for Lauren. She decided to seek help through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and found solace in spirituality. Lauren's journey is a testament to the power of self-love and acceptance.
She emphasizes the importance of her higher power, which she chooses to call God, and her dedication to the AA program. Now, her life revolves around her son and her daily commitment to recovery. Lauren's story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding a new purpose and living a life guided by love and recovery. Her experience offers hope and inspiration to anyone struggling with similar challenges.
Tune in to hear Lauren's heartfelt narrative and discover how support, spirituality, and determination can pave the way to a brighter future.
