What addiction has also taught me is it comes in all shapes and sizes...but I was still dropping in my bathroom.
Donna’s story is one that many can relate to, a journey marked by early addiction and the long road to recovery. She began using drugs as a child, thinking it was a normal part of social life. As a teenager, Donna's usage escalated; she was always the last to leave a party, often the one bringing the drugs, and never wanting the high to end. This behavior strained her relationships and eroded her self-esteem.
Despite getting married and becoming a mother, Donna continued using drugs, even during her pregnancy and her son's early years. Numerous attempts to get clean at various facilities were short-lived. But Donna's story doesn't end there. Now four years clean, she shares her experiences, including the pivotal moments that led to lasting recovery. Her son, too, is proudly two years clean. Donna’s journey underscores the importance of honesty in recovery and highlights how addiction impacts family dynamics.
Yet, it’s also a tale of hope and transformation. Donna talks about the love, freedom, and honesty she now enjoys, showing that change is possible with the right mindset. Tune in to hear Donna's compelling story on 'The Truth About Addiction'.
