Creating safe spaces is what we do. You see storytelling gives others hope and we cannot keep this unless we give it away.
Imagine hitting rock bottom and leaving your baby home alone while battling addiction and bipolar disorder. In this heartfelt episode of RAW Recovery, hosted by Dion Miller, Deanna opens up about her tumultuous journey to sobriety. Despite some initial sound issues, her story is clear and powerful. Deanna candidly discusses her struggles with alcohol, pills, and even shooting up speed, all while convincing herself she didn't have a problem.
Her narrative takes us through the dark days of addiction, the trauma that exacerbated her bipolar disorder, and the risky situations she faced. But this isn't just a story of despair; it's one of hope and transformation. Deanna shares the turning point that led her to seek help and the role of community in her recovery. She emphasizes the importance of creating safe spaces for sharing stories, as empathy and connection are crucial for healing.
Early sobriety wasn't easy for Deanna; she talks about overcoming shame, guilt, and finding a higher power—even if it’s something as unconventional as Batman. Yoga also played a significant role in her recovery, helping her manage trauma and find peace. This episode is a testament to the power of storytelling and community in recovery. If you're seeking inspiration or a reminder that recovery is possible, Deanna's story offers a beacon of hope and resilience.
