Trust the process, because and good things happen...But that only works if you're doing it for the right reasons.
Laura's story is a testament to resilience and the power of seeking help. In this episode of the Miracle Mansion Podcast by Broadway Lodge, Laura sits down with Markkus, Head of Treatment & Counselling, to share her journey through addiction and recovery. Starting with a happy childhood, Laura's relationship with alcohol began in her late secondary school years. What started as casual drinking soon escalated in her early 20s, leading to symptoms of alcohol dependency.
Alongside this, Laura battled bulimia, which further complicated her life and health. Laura recounts how she juggled work, university, relationships, and traveling while grappling with these challenges. Her candid discussion reveals the toll that addiction and an eating disorder took on her life, culminating in a period where she became particularly unwell before seeking help. At Broadway Lodge, Laura found the support she needed to begin her recovery journey.
She talks about the significant role that humor and laughter played in her healing process, emphasizing the importance of family and support systems. Laura also shares how a relationship with another peer, Pete, led to fundamental changes in how Broadway Lodge handles romantic relationships during treatment. Her story is not just about overcoming addiction but also about finding the right reasons to pursue recovery.
Laura's experience offers hope and insight to anyone struggling with similar issues, showing that recovery is possible with the right support and mindset.
