From Crime to Clarity: Rachael's Journey to Sobriety
I think in my head it's: oh, it's to not use drugs and alcohol, and I just think that's such a cool explanation of to live this really stuff we've talked about in other episodes of fulfilled life- and realize: oh wait, I don't need those things to live that fulfilled life.
Picture this: it's Christmas, and instead of celebrating, Rachael finds herself in the middle of a felony attempted carjacking. Fast forward to today, and she's eight years clean and sober. In this episode of 'Chasing Heroine: Addiction Recovery Podcast', Jeannine and Kim sit down with Rachael, Jeannine’s sponsor, to talk about that fateful night and the incredible journey that followed.
Rachael opens up about her struggles with addiction, the pivotal moments that led to her sobriety, and the importance of having a strong support system. Jeannine shares her own experiences and highlights how sponsor relationships have been crucial in her recovery. The conversation also dives into how investing in oneself can lead to building a successful life post-addiction. If you're looking for a raw, real, and ultimately uplifting story of redemption, this episode is a must-listen.
