Sheila's Story: Conquering Addiction and Finding Hope

Don't be afraid of the unknown, because that's one thing that keeps me stuck there, like I get stuck in the fear of what ifs- and I can get in my head about that a lot. And you know life does not have to be that way.
Sheila's journey is one that many will find both heartbreaking and inspiring. Growing up in an abusive household, she faced shyness, depression, and low self-esteem. High school became a blur of alcohol, marijuana, and eventually heroin, as she sought an escape from her painful reality. Dropping out and becoming a young mother, Sheila hit a turning point. She realized she needed to get clean, not just for herself but for her son.
In this episode of 'One Day at a Time: In Recovery in Baltimore', host Theo Hill sits down with Sheila to discuss her path to recovery. They touch on the powerful grip of addiction, the role of trauma, and the challenging yet rewarding journey towards sobriety. Sheila's candidness about her experiences in detox centers and rehab provides a raw look into the struggles and triumphs of overcoming addiction.
This conversation isn't just about Sheila's story; it's a beacon of hope for anyone battling similar demons. Her story underscores the importance of self-determination and the courage to face one's fears. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Sheila's story is a powerful reminder that change is possible.
