I didn't realize there were whole communities of addicts and alcoholics who actually didn't drink or use drugs. Instead, I became cross-addicted to my drinking as well as carter's drinking, and all I cared about was when I could see him again, me and him, and alcohol could have our perverse orgy of misguided intimacy.
Ever thought addiction was just about the substance? Tara Boyce shatters that illusion in this gripping episode of 'Addicted to Recovery: The Interactive Memoir'. Tara opens up about her unexpected discovery that addiction isn't just about what you consume, but also about who you connect with. She recounts her entanglement with a fellow addict, someone who had been to rehab and seemed to understand her struggles in a way no one else could.
This relationship, fueled by alcohol and mutual pain, created a false sense of intimacy that only deepened her addiction. Tara's story isn't just about her personal battles; it's a reflection on the broader issue of how addiction can mask deeper problems like an inability to connect with others or our surroundings.
She shares how she gravitated towards someone who seemed equally damaged, thinking it was a form of understanding and support, but ultimately realizing it was another layer of her addiction. With raw honesty, Tara dives into the complexities of cross-addiction, where the lines between substances and relationships blur, making recovery even more challenging. She doesn't sugarcoat her journey, offering listeners a candid look at the highs and lows of battling addiction and mental health issues.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand the multifaceted nature of addiction. Whether you're struggling yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the topic, Tara's insights provide valuable perspectives on the road to recovery. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that goes beyond the surface, exploring the real challenges and small victories that come with choosing sobriety.
