I see trauma and I and I see mental illness. But I was walking in One Day and this, this lady, this older lady's, walking in Temple Square and she says to the homeless lady: she says you need to go get a job.
Imagine living a double life—one where you're part of a family in federal law enforcement, and the other where you're hiding a meth addiction. This is Alisha's reality. In this episode of SOAR, Alisha opens up about her turbulent journey through addiction and her inspiring path to recovery. She paints a vivid picture of the chaos that came with her addiction, including using drugs during pregnancy and living like she was homeless, despite having a roof over her head.
Alisha's story is raw and unfiltered, detailing how she lost her job and faced immense stigma from her own family. Yet, amidst the darkness, she found a glimmer of hope and the courage to seek help. Through support groups and recovery tools, Alisha slowly but surely turned her life around. Raising her daughter as a recovering addict gave her the strength to keep fighting.
She also sheds light on the often misunderstood lives of homeless people, urging listeners to look beyond the stigma. If you're looking for a story that shows the power of determination and the importance of support in overcoming addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
