I think that I would say nine out of people have an addiction of some sorts, and we tend to look at the homeless person on the street as having an addiction. But we don't necessarily look at the soccer mom with the addiction.
Ever wondered how someone finds the strength to break free from addiction and mental health struggles? In this episode of 'Voices in Recovery', Chelsey opens up about her personal battles and the lessons she learned along the way. Growing up, Chelsey saw addiction normalized, but her perspective shifted as she faced her own challenges. She dives into how gaslighting by a partner affected her mental health and why self-care is crucial for anyone in a caregiving role.
Chelsey doesn't just talk about the dark times; she also shares practical tips for recovery, like the power of physical activity and the simple yet profound act of looking at the sun on a bad day. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of the importance of community support, mental health awareness, and harm reduction. Chelsey's story reminds us that recovery is not a straight path but a journey filled with ups and downs.
If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on overcoming addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
