I felt like I had power over people because I had the bag and I did, and I got very mean and I was very heartless in some ways, and that was.
When life throws you into chaos, sometimes you just have to run. That's exactly what Lori did. In this gripping episode of 'Voices of Recovery', Lori opens up about her tumultuous journey from a traumatic childhood to the dark world of meth addiction. Hosted by Monique Danziger, this episode is a raw, honest look at the struggles and resilience that define Lori's life.
Lori's story begins with a haunting memory from her childhood, one that she tried to bury under layers of meth and tough-girl bravado. She talks about the adrenaline rush of feeling powerful with a bag of meth in her hand, even if it meant becoming someone she didn't recognize. But Lori's life wasn't just about addiction; it was also about survival.
She recounts the dangerous paths she took, including stealing cars and cooking meth, all while trying to outrun the fear and paranoia that shadowed her every move. Things took a dramatic turn when Lori became a mother. The loss of her parental rights marked a painful turning point, but it also ignited a spark of change. She started attending recovery meetings and found some semblance of stability. Yet, life had more hurdles in store.
Her first marriage was marred by her husband's addiction and domestic abuse, pushing Lori to the brink once again. Despite these setbacks, Lori never gave up on herself. She found purpose in caregiving, which became a cornerstone of her recovery. Her story is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for resilience and transformation, even in the face of relentless adversity.
If you're looking for a story that embodies strength, humor, and the will to survive, this episode is a must-listen.
