Amanda Cahhal: From Rock Bottom to Redemption

But the rewards that you see when you continue to go forward.
Imagine dropping out of school, having a child at a young age, and then spiraling into the depths of addiction. This is the reality Amanda Cahhal faced, and in this gripping episode of Recovery Podcast, she opens up about her tumultuous journey. Amanda sits down with host Nick to recount how her addiction led to her children being taken away for their safety, a heartbreaking consequence that forced her to confront her reality.
Despite completing a treatment program, Amanda's path to recovery was far from linear, marked by relapses and struggles. However, it was through faith and the unwavering support of her community that she found the strength to persevere. Amanda credits the Volunteers of America Northern Rockies for playing a pivotal role in her recovery, helping her become the mother her children deserve.
She also touches on the profound impact of trauma and grief in addiction, sharing how a fellow inmate's loss became a turning point in her life. Amanda's story is a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of community in overcoming life's toughest battles. Tune in to hear her inspiring message and find hope in the possibility of transformation.
