The things that I thought that I would never recover from, are the ones that have made me into a person who I admire today.
Ever built a zip line in your backyard as a kid? Mel did, and that's just the start of her wild journey. In this episode of 'Weird Fat and Sober', Mel joins host Daniel Wooldridge to share her incredible story of addiction and recovery. Growing up, Mel faced immense pressure to excel in school, which led her to tackle projects and reading assignments way beyond her years.
But with a family history of alcoholism lurking in the background, it wasn't long before she began experimenting with drugs and alcohol in her early teens. By her twenties, Mel's life was spiraling out of control due to addiction. From experiencing cocaine psychosis hallucinations to waking up from blackouts in foreign countries, her story is both shocking and eye-opening. However, Mel's journey doesn't end there.
Through various recovery programs and outpatient treatments, she found her spiritual center and started rebuilding her life. Mel candidly discusses the challenges she faced, including dealing with PTSD triggers and shedding the victimhood mentality that once held her back. Her transformation is nothing short of inspiring, proving that recovery is possible with the right support and mindset. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or know someone who is, Mel's story offers a beacon of hope.
So, if you're ready for a rollercoaster of emotions mixed with some good laughs, tune in to hear Mel's incredible journey from backyard zip lines to sobriety.
