You know, sometimes we have newcomers that are listening or people that haven't even tried to stop with their addiction. So I just wanted to bring that attention.
Imagine starting to drink at 13 and spiraling into daily alcoholism. That's Lori's story. Her drinking escalated after her marriage ended, bringing her to the brink of death. But in 2013, she surrendered to Alcoholics Anonymous, and her life began anew. On the other hand, Debbi seemed to have it all together—raising four kids and thriving in her career as a Social Worker.
However, during her children's teenage years, addiction crept in, taking everything from her: her job, home, car, and even her children. By 2017, she was at rock bottom. With the help of treatment and faith, Debbi started to rebuild her life. In this episode of 'The Empty Chair', Lori and Debbi share their raw and emotional journeys from the depths of addiction to the heights of recovery.
They discuss the importance of surrendering to the recovery process and the invaluable support systems that helped them along the way. The episode also tackles the stigma surrounding addiction, emphasizing the need for open dialogue to break down these barriers. Whether you're battling addiction yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply seeking to understand more about this challenging issue, Lori and Debbi's stories offer hope and inspiration.
Tune in to hear their powerful testimonies and learn about the transformative power of recovery.
