If you were to encounter that person, who, that person, who you were before stepping into that psych ward, or before, maybe even stepping into aa or the rooms, uh, before, when you, when you went back to la, just the person you were before you started to recover. Um, I think, if I was around me and was able to spend some time with me going through that process, I think the best thing that you can do, or the best thing that I could have done for myself is to like hold the space, which is what my friend Shaw did, and I didn't realize he was doing it.
Devin L.'s story is a gripping tale of transformation, hope, and resilience. In this episode of 'Recovery Friends', Devin shares her journey from the dark alleys of addiction in Los Angeles to a life filled with purpose and sobriety. Her candid account begins with the struggles she faced with alcoholism and drug use, revealing how a painful breakup became the catalyst for her downward spiral.
But Devin's story is not just about the depths of addiction; it's also about the climb back up. She speaks openly about the misconceptions she had about alcoholism, which delayed her seeking help, and how recognizing these signs was a crucial step towards recovery. One of the most moving parts of Devin's narrative is her emphasis on relationships. She recounts how her addiction strained her connections with loved ones and led to missed opportunities and significant life events.
However, it's also these relationships that played a pivotal role in her recovery. Through the support of friends, family, and the community within 12-step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous, Devin found the strength to rebuild her life. Devin doesn't shy away from discussing the challenges she faced in recovery, including the difficulty of meditation and making amends with those she hurt. Yet, she also highlights the immense rewards of these efforts, painting a picture of a life transformed by sobriety.
For anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Devin's story offers a beacon of hope and a testament to the power of supportive relationships in overcoming addiction.
