Ash Butterss: Finding Hope Beyond Addiction
And a big part of for me in this journey has been learning to sit in the discomfort, to sit in the shit and know that a feeling's not going to kill me.
Ash Butterss, the voice behind the podcast 'Behind the Smile', takes us on a deeply personal journey from addiction to sobriety in this episode of 'Sober Motivation'. Starting her battle with alcohol at just 12 years old, Ash's life took a downward spiral as she tried to numb her pain with both alcohol and cocaine. The loss of a close friend and the collapse of her marriage only fueled her addiction, pushing her further into a dark abyss.
But Ash's story isn't just about struggle; it's about resilience and the incredible power of asking for help. When she finally reached out, she was ready to do whatever it took to turn her life around. Through embracing vulnerability, self-reflection, and leaning on community support, Ash discovered the strength to face her discomfort and rebuild her life without substances. Her story is a powerful reminder that no matter how deep the struggle, recovery is always within reach.
Tune in to hear Ash's inspiring journey and find hope in her words.
