The opposite of addiction is connection.
Ever wondered how deep connections can transform your journey to sobriety? In this episode of 'Get Connected AF', Angey opens up about her personal battle with addiction and the pivotal role that connection played in her recovery. Angey's story starts in her youth, where her struggles began not just with alcohol but also with relationships. Her environment, including a Catholic school where drinking was common, didn't help. This pattern continued into adulthood, leading to severe consequences in her personal life.
A significant turning point came when Angey became pregnant. She managed to stay away from alcohol during her pregnancy, but after her children were born, she found herself slipping back into old habits. The tipping point was a catastrophic injury while on vacation, which served as a wake-up call. Determined to change, Angey sought out resources for sobriety. What truly made a difference for her were the connections she built along the way.
Joining a support group and finding a mentor who had been sober for years provided the encouragement and strength she needed. Through these relationships, Angey discovered new friends who shared her commitment to an alcohol-free life. Angey's journey is a powerful reminder that overcoming addiction isn't just about abstinence; it's about building meaningful connections. Her story underscores the idea that the opposite of addiction is indeed connection.
If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, remember that you're not alone. Reach out, build connections, and find hope in the support of others. Tune in to hear Angey's full story on 'Get Connected AF'.
