It was the hardest but the best thing I've ever done in my life.
Ever wondered what it takes to pull oneself out of the darkest depths of addiction? In this heartfelt episode of the Miracle Mansion Podcast, Michele opens up about her tumultuous journey through addiction, treatment, and the road to recovery. Hosted by Markkus Trew, Head of Treatment & Counselling at Broadway Lodge, this episode offers a raw and honest conversation with Michele, who has been sober for over 15 months. Michele's story is both harrowing and inspiring.
She shares how her addictive tendencies began in her early teens with obsessive cleaning behaviors, which escalated to dangerous extremes like bathing in Dettol and drinking bleach. As she grew older, alcohol took over her life, leading her to a point where she felt she had nothing left to lose. It was at her lowest point that Michele found Broadway Lodge. During her stay, she confronted her mental health struggles and began the challenging but transformative process of recovery.
Michele talks about the support she received at Broadway Lodge, the role of community in her healing, and how becoming a buddy and deputy house leader gave her a new sense of purpose. Her candid reflections on self-harm and suicidal thoughts serve as a powerful reminder of the complexities of addiction and the strength required to overcome it. Despite technical issues with the microphone during recording, Michele's story shines through as a beacon of hope for anyone battling addiction.
Her journey underscores the importance of surrendering to the process and finding ways to give back to others on similar paths. Tune in to hear Michele's courageous tale and gain insight into the life-changing experience of residential treatment at Broadway Lodge.
