“Life continues to show up, whether you want to be a part of it or not.” - Natalie
Imagine enduring unimaginable trauma as a child and finding yourself lost in the grip of addiction as a teen. In this gripping episode of Real Recovery Talk, hosts Tom Conrad and Ben sit down with Natalie, who opens up about her harrowing journey from childhood abuse to addiction, and ultimately, to recovery. Natalie's story is a raw and powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
At just eight years old, she was sexually molested, and by 14, she turned to alcohol to numb the pain. Her struggles only deepened as she moved on to drugs like Xanax and oxycontin, leading to arrests and a stint in jail. But Natalie’s story doesn’t end there. Through courage and determination, she began the difficult process of healing her emotional wounds as an adult.
Tom and Ben guide this heartfelt conversation with empathy, highlighting key moments in Natalie's recovery journey. They discuss the importance of addressing emotional scars, the power of surrendering to the recovery process, and the ongoing effort required to maintain sobriety. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. Natalie's journey offers hope and practical insights into the transformative power of healing and sobriety.
