- Her journey of recovery, including gastric bypass surgery and Alcoholics Anonymous

Gratitude is the number one most important thing. It's the opposite of having a resentment. Resentments will take you out. Gratitude will keep you grounded and bring positive energy into your life.
Carnie Wilson, known for her role in the pop sensation Wilson Phillips, opens up about her turbulent journey from the heights of fame to the depths of addiction. In this episode of 'Back from Broken', Carnie recounts growing up under the shadow of her father, Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys, whose own struggles with addiction cast a long shadow over her life.
Despite the early joy and success she found in music, Carnie's life was marred by battles with weight, alcoholism, and mental health issues. She describes how her childhood, marked by unpredictability and substance abuse, set the stage for her own struggles. At her lowest point, Carnie faced morbid obesity and suicidal thoughts. However, her story takes a hopeful turn as she shares her decision to undergo gastric bypass surgery and seek help through Alcoholics Anonymous.
With the support of her community and a newfound sense of gratitude, Carnie began to rebuild her life. This episode is a raw and heartfelt look at the importance of seeking help and the power of community in the recovery process.
