Getting sober requires a rewiring of the brain, and instead of reaching for a drink, we have to learn how to reach for support.
What happens when the glitz and glamour of the rock 'n' roll lifestyle collide with the harsh realities of addiction? In this episode of 'One For The Road', David Wilson, also known as SoberDave, sits down with Anita Chellamah to explore just that. Anita, once a vibrant member of the 80s dance group Legs & Co. and lead singer of The Cherry Bombz, opens up about her tumultuous journey through fame, addiction, and ultimately, recovery.
Anita's story is a rollercoaster ride through the entertainment industry, where she found herself grappling with alcohol and drug addiction at a young age. She candidly discusses how childhood trauma played a significant role in her struggles, shedding light on the often-hidden emotional battles behind substance abuse. With 33 years of sobriety under her belt, Anita now dedicates her life to helping others navigate their own paths to recovery as a counselor.
Listeners will find Anita's insights on recognizing addiction and the importance of seeking support particularly poignant. Her message is clear: overcoming addiction requires not just willpower but a complete rewiring of one's mindset and behaviors. Instead of reaching for substances, reaching out for help can make all the difference. Whether you're on your own sobriety journey or supporting someone who is, Anita's story is a powerful reminder that change is possible, no matter how deep one has fallen.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation that goes beyond the surface of addiction to uncover the resilience and strength needed to reclaim one's life.
