Living an abstinence-based way of life is what I do, regardless of the quantity of THC to CBD or anything like that.
How does someone transform from a troubled teen experimenting with substances to a counselor guiding others on their recovery journey? In this episode of 'Addicts Anonymous', host Jim Rachels sits down with Cristy T. to unravel her compelling life story. Cristy opens up about her early years, growing up with adoptive parents who were moderate drinkers, and her first brush with substance abuse during her teenage years.
What started as casual experimentation behind the school quickly spiraled into a full-blown addiction, leading Cristy down a path of homelessness and legal troubles. Cristy's story takes a turn for the better when she finds a support system that helps her reclaim her life. As a mother living with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), she reflects on the impact of addiction on families and the importance of seeking help.
Now, as a counselor, Cristy dedicates her life to helping others navigate their own recovery journeys. Her experiences offer invaluable insights into the challenges and triumphs of overcoming addiction. This episode isn't just about the dark times; it's a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is. Cristy's journey underscores the importance of finding the right recovery program and the transformative power of sober support systems.
Tune in to hear how she turned her life around and now inspires others to do the same.
