Tay's Candid Journey: From Addiction to Sobriety
I was sick of my own bullshit, I was sick of waking up, sick. I'm going to get a drink to fuck it, I'm going to be sober.
Picture this: a young girl growing up in Hawaii, grappling with addiction from an early age. That's Tay's story, and it's as raw and real as it gets. In this episode of 'Together S.O.B.E.R.', host Louise Barnett sits down with Tay, who’s just shy of 60 days sober after nearly two decades of daily drinking.
Tay’s tale is a rollercoaster of highs and lows—she moved to the West Coast with her boyfriend at 17, only to find herself deeper in the throes of addiction. Returning to Hawaii didn’t bring solace; instead, she ended up in an abusive relationship with a drug dealer and found herself single and pregnant. Fast forward to today, and Tay is bravely navigating her early days of sobriety.
She’s had more rock bottoms than she can count, but she’s finally had enough of her own BS. Louise and Tay discuss the significance of accountability, celebrating small victories, and the power of sharing personal stories. Tay's vulnerability is both heart-wrenching and inspiring, making this episode a must-listen for anyone on their own path to recovery or supporting someone who is. Tay's journey is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest times, there's always a glimmer of hope.
