Imagine starting your battle with addiction at just 12 years old. That's Mikaela's reality. Growing up in Melbourne, where early drinking was the norm, Mikaela's life spiraled into uncontrollable drinking and struggles at school. By 17, she was already in rehab, and her journey through addiction was marked by numerous relapses and stints in Narcotics Anonymous. Despite these efforts, Mikaela never fully committed to recovery until she hit rock bottom, losing her job as a nurse due to drug use.
Now, 10 months clean, Mikaela dreams of helping others in addiction recovery and mental health. In this heartfelt episode of 'The Truth About Addiction', host Ron Isherwood sits down with Mikaela to discuss the raw realities of her journey. She opens up about the early challenges of recovery, the importance of self-compassion, and the simple joys that sobriety brings. One of Mikaela's key messages is the necessity of remembering the pain of addiction to stay motivated in recovery.
Her story is a powerful reminder that while the road to recovery is long and tough, it's filled with hope and new beginnings. Tune in to hear Mikaela's inspiring journey and discover how she's turning her struggles into a beacon of hope for others.
