If you have that kind of trauma where you were left in your crib for long periods of time, the feeling that comes up, that fear, it's equated to death.
Ever wondered how trauma can shape a person's path to addiction and recovery? Meet Hannah Marks, a remarkable woman who turned her painful past into a beacon of hope for others. In this episode of Real Recovery Talk, host Tom Conrad catches up with Hannah, someone he's known for seven years, both having maintained their sobriety throughout.
Hannah's story is unique; she began drinking at the tender age of 11 following the death of her father and found sobriety by 17. Her journey wasn't just about quitting alcohol but overcoming deep-seated mental hurdles and learning coping mechanisms she was never taught. Hannah dives into how trauma acted as her gateway drug, leading her down a dark path until she found the strength to seek help.
Now, she's the founder of WhereHab, an advocacy website designed to help people explore treatment options without the pressure of sales pitches. WhereHab aims to educate individuals on the best treatment options tailored to their unique situations, making the road to recovery less daunting. Hannah's conversation with Tom also touches on the importance of community in recovery. She recounts how her sister's support provided a positive environment crucial for her sobriety.
The episode sheds light on the limitations of some addiction treatments and emphasizes the need for genuine, supportive communities. Hannah's story is a testament to the power of resilience and the possibility of healing, offering inspiration to anyone facing similar struggles.
