Drugs was super expensive and I ended up, like shooting up, which was something like I never told myself, like I always said I'm never going to do that, like I'm not one of those people you know and you know now. That was what my problem was, because I just couldn't deal with life and I just felt so hopeless, because this thing, this thing was my solution to life, like using was how I was going to get through this awful thing that I did not know how to deal with and I didn't ask for.
Ever felt like you're battling demons long before they even have names? That's how Eleanor describes her early years, growing up with alcoholic parents and feeling a deep sense of emptiness. She thought she could escape by staying away from alcohol, but at 20, life took a different turn. Eleanor found herself in the world of stripping, and soon after, she was introduced to drugs. It didn't take long for her to realize she was hooked.
Her life spiraled into a chaotic mess of addiction and suicidal thoughts. But that's not where her story ends. In this episode of 'The Truth About Addiction', host Ron Isherwood sits down with Eleanor as she opens up about her tumultuous journey and the pivotal moments that led to her recovery. With the support of her mum and the community at her first NA meeting, Eleanor found a glimmer of hope.
She discovered she wasn't alone and that others shared her struggles. Now, coming up on a year clean, Eleanor is ready to face the world with newfound strength and pride. This episode is a raw and heartfelt look at the complexities of addiction, the impact of family dynamics, and the transformative power of support and community. Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Eleanor's story is a beacon of hope and a reminder that recovery is possible.
