Annissa's Battle: Overcoming Addiction and Trauma on RAW Recovery

I just needed help, I needed to get away and I felt safest with him.
Ever felt like life's challenges are just too overwhelming? Annissa's story might change your perspective. In this episode of RAW Recovery, hosted by Dion Miller, Annissa opens up about her tumultuous journey through addiction, mental health struggles, and the lingering effects of trauma. Growing up with a mother who worked in a bar, Annissa witnessed the dark side of alcoholism early on.
Her own battles with alcohol led her down a path she never imagined—one that included strained family relationships and multiple stints in jail. But Annissa's story isn't just about the lows; it's about the fight to rise above them. She shares candidly about her relapses and the constant challenge of staying sober in an environment where alcohol was always present. What makes her journey so compelling is her relentless pursuit of recovery through various support systems like AA and therapy.
Annissa also highlights the importance of accountability, especially when it comes to being a role model for her children. Her willingness to face her past mistakes head-on and work tirelessly to rebuild her family relationships is truly inspiring. If you're struggling with addiction or know someone who is, Annissa's story serves as a powerful reminder that recovery is possible with courage, determination, and support.
Tune in to hear her raw and honest account, and find a spark of hope in her resilience.
