For me, a big part of recovery was growing up commitments, not doing what I felt like, acting myself into right thinking, cognitive behavioral therapy, sticking to my word, routine, stability, all the things I hated, all the things I could avoid when I had a trust fund, I didn't have a job, I didn't have to do anything.
Ever wondered how someone can turn a life of addiction into a tale of redemption? In this episode of the Cover 2 Resources podcast, Greg McNeil sits down with Amy Dresner, a former stand-up comic who has performed at iconic venues like The Comedy Store and The Laugh Factory.
Now, she's best known for her brutally honest memoir, 'My Fair Junkie: A Memoir of Getting Dirty and Staying Clean.' Amy's story is a no-holds-barred account of her struggles with addiction and the pivotal moments that led her to sobriety. From a life-altering arrest to the humbling experience of mandatory community service, Amy opens up about the darkest corners of her journey and the epiphanies that came with it.
Her candidness has resonated with many, helping them feel less alone and more understood in their battles with addiction. This episode touches on the comorbidity of addiction and mental illness, the transformative power of community service, and the importance of routine and stability in recovery. If you're looking for an inspiring and unfiltered discussion on addiction and sobriety, this conversation with Amy Dresner is a must-listen.
