My life is about acceptance now, acceptance of the answer to all my problems, and I have to remind myself that a lot what I need to be honest with is myself.
Ever felt like you're stuck in a cycle you can't break free from? Lauren O. knows that feeling all too well. For two decades, she battled addiction, self-medicating her anxiety and depression with a mix of marijuana and other street drugs. Her journey wasn't a straight line; it was filled with ups and downs, including a significant relapse after seven years of sobriety.
In this gripping episode of The SHAIR Recovery Podcast, host Omar Pinto sits down with Lauren as she opens up about her struggles and triumphs. From her first rehab stint to dealing with postpartum depression, Lauren's story is a rollercoaster of emotions and lessons. She talks about the critical role of support systems and community in her recovery, and how books like the Living Sober Book and the Big Book became her lifelines.
If you're looking for a raw, honest account of what it takes to overcome addiction and find lasting happiness, Lauren's story is a must-listen. Her journey is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, even after hitting rock bottom.
