I really think therapy is important. I think meditation is important. If you're in addiction now, seek help. That's what the doctor that I didn't like hearing those words. But there are so many tools out there now that you're not alone and you don't have to sit on your couch alone. You can meet fabulous people like Louise and you can get your life back.
Imagine discovering a painful family secret while navigating the challenging path to sobriety. That's exactly what happened to Vicki, a 62-year-old former middle school art teacher and mother of two. In this episode of 'Together S.O.B.E.R.', Vicki opens up about her journey with host Louise Barnett, a life coach accredited by Jay Shetty. Vicki began drinking at 14, and by the time she started her recovery in May 2017, she had already faced a lifetime of struggles.
But sobriety brought new revelations. When she asked her uncle about their family history, she uncovered disturbing truths about her grandfather that her mother had hidden for decades. Vicki's story is one of resilience and determination as she navigates the complexities of addiction and trauma. She shares how therapy, meditation, and a supportive community have been crucial in her healing process.
Her candid storytelling offers valuable insights into the long road to recovery and the importance of facing one's past to find peace. If you're looking for a tale of strength and hope, this episode is a must-listen.
