Ever wondered how someone can rise from the depths of addiction to find a life filled with hope? In this compelling episode of the Miracle Mansion Podcast, hosted by Broadway Lodge's Head of Treatment & Counselling, Markkus Trew, former client Carla shares her heart-wrenching yet inspiring journey. Born into a family battling addiction, Carla's struggles began at the tender age of 11 when she first started using drugs.

Her candidness offers a raw and unfiltered look at the pain and chaos that addiction can bring.
Yet, her story is not just about struggle—it's about resilience and recovery. At Broadway Lodge, Carla found the support and tools she needed to begin her journey towards sobriety. One of the most powerful aspects of Carla's story is her emphasis on humility and spiritual principles as cornerstones of her recovery. She discusses how these elements have played a crucial role in her ongoing battle against addiction.
Her narrative is a testament to the importance of breaking the stigma surrounding addiction, showing that recovery is not only possible but also achievable with the right support. Listeners will find themselves moved by Carla's honesty and bravery. Her story serves as a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting a loved one through it.
