You know, we might not be able to catch them right at the trauma, but we can help lift them up here, we can empower them, we can give them the skills that they need to succeed and grow beyond their wildest dreams, just like I did.
Imagine facing the darkest moments of your life and still finding the strength to rise above it all. That's exactly what Charli did, and her story is nothing short of extraordinary. In this episode of 'Voices in Recovery', Charli opens up about her tumultuous past, marked by abuse, neglect, and even an attempted kidnapping by one of Robert Pickton's associates. She also survived a severe car accident that left her with chronic difficulties.
Despite these harrowing experiences, Charli's journey is one of resilience and transformation. Today, she is not only sober but also actively involved in mentoring other women in trades, helping them find their own paths to recovery. Charli’s story highlights the significant impact of family dynamics on addiction. Growing up in a household plagued by alcoholism and codependency took a toll on her self-esteem and mental health. Yet, through self-discovery and unwavering faith, she found a way to rebuild her life.
Her narrative is a powerful reminder that no matter how dire the circumstances, hope and recovery are always within reach. Tune in to hear Charli's inspiring journey and learn about the importance of support, mentorship, and self-care in the recovery process.
