I thought everybody was full of shit for so long and once I started causing wreckage in recovery and having to make amends and having people make amends to me, I really saw the full circle and the power that the steps have in people's lives, and that was a pretty remarkable experience.
Ever wondered how someone can rise from the darkest depths of addiction to stand in the halls of the White House? Meet Arielle Spanvill, a woman whose journey defies all odds. Starting her battle with drugs at just 12 years old, Arielle's story is a rollercoaster of despair and triumph. She began with cough syrup laced with codeine and quickly escalated to narcotic painkillers after the heartbreaking loss of her father.
Her college years saw her entangled with a drug-dealing ex-con and spiraling into the abyss of oxytocin and crystal meth addiction. But Arielle's tale doesn't end in darkness. With sheer determination, she clawed her way out, earning a Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Utah. Her relentless drive and commitment to recovery even earned her an invitation to the White House to share her story and advocate for addiction recovery.
This episode of 'The Recovery Revolution' podcast, hosted by Omar Pinto, is a powerful testament to the human spirit's resilience. Arielle's story is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is. Her journey underscores the importance of a strong support network and the transformative power of recovery programs.
As Arielle puts it, 'I thought everybody was full of shit for so long and once I started causing wreckage in recovery and having to make amends and having people make amends to me, I really saw the full circle and the power that the steps have in people's lives, and that was a pretty remarkable experience'. Tune in to hear Arielle's incredible journey and find inspiration in her unwavering resolve.
