I've learnt so much about myself and I am almost proud to be an alcoholic because I've managed to turn my life back around.
Ever wondered how someone can face addiction, achieve sobriety, and then tackle a cancer diagnosis? Lucy Chapman’s story is nothing short of inspiring. On this episode of 'Behind The Smile with Ash Butterss', Lucy, a mother of three, opens up about her life-changing journey. She quit drinking on March 1, 2021, after realizing her substance use was far from under control.
Her days of drinking around the clock led her to a breaking point, where she couldn't even leave her son's bedroom. But that was just the beginning of her fight. One year into her sobriety, Lucy was diagnosed with cancer, and a new battle began. Lucy attributes her strength to her recovery program, which has been her anchor through life's toughest challenges. She shares how Alcoholics Anonymous and connecting with others in recovery played a crucial role in her journey.
Meditation and self-reflection have also been key tools in maintaining her sobriety and finding gratitude amidst adversity. If you're navigating addiction or facing your own life challenges, Lucy's story offers a beacon of hope and practical advice. Tune in to hear her powerful narrative and discover the resilience of the human spirit.
