I wouldn't give it up for anything. Yeah, there is nothing that can happen in my life.
Ever wondered what it takes to break free from decades of addiction? Tricia Parido's story is a testament to resilience and transformation. In this episode of The Addicted Mind Podcast, host Duane Osterlind sits down with Tricia, an international master addictions coach and founder of Turning Leaves Recovery Life and Wellness Coaching. Tricia's journey is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about reclaiming life, one step at a time.
Starting her battle with addiction at the tender age of 12, Tricia found herself entangled in a web of alcohol and benzodiazepines for 30 years. Despite her struggles, she managed to maintain a facade of a high-functioning alcoholic. But behind closed doors, the reality was far grimmer. Her anxiety disorder in her early 30s led to a prescription for Xanax, creating a vicious cycle that only worsened her condition.
What makes Tricia's story compelling is her 25-year recovery journey, filled with setbacks and triumphs. She emphasizes that recovery isn't a one-size-fits-all process; different aspects of her life were ready to heal at different times. Through emotional intelligence, assertiveness training, and practical skills, she built a robust recovery lifestyle. Tricia also sheds light on the often-overlooked post-acute withdrawal symptoms and the importance of education in managing them.
For anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers invaluable insights and practical advice. Tricia's candid discussion about the role of coaching in recovery and the steps to achieve a fulfilling, sober life will leave you inspired and hopeful.
