I didn't want treatment. I didn't want any help. You know, I felt like I was forced into it.
Tanya Adame's story is one that will leave you both heartbroken and inspired. In this episode of Odyssey House Journals, Tanya sits down with hosts Randall Carlisle and Nicole Slack to share her tumultuous journey from childhood abuse to addiction, and ultimately, to recovery. Hooked on heroin at just 16, Tanya quickly spiralled into the dangerous world of drug dealing. By 19, she found herself federally indicted and facing prison time.
However, it was in prison that she began to confront her past and consider a different future. Tanya’s candidness about her struggles with sexual abuse, addiction, and the fear of re-entering society is both raw and eye-opening. She opens up about her initial reluctance towards treatment and how being forced into a programme by the courts turned out to be a life-saving intervention.
Now at 22, Tanya is not only sober but also planning for a future in cosmetology or HVAC. Her reflections on the importance of addressing underlying trauma and the role of supportive relationships in recovery offer valuable insights for anyone facing similar battles. Tanya’s story is a testament to the power of resilience and the possibility of change, even when the odds seem insurmountable. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking hope and understanding in the journey towards sobriety.
