I say all the time: you know, I'm one shot away from being a junkie. Yeah, I'm attracted to the people who give unconditional love, even when we don't like the person.
Georgina's story is a powerful testament to resilience and the transformative power of recovery. In this episode of 'The Truth About Addiction', host Ron Isherwood sits down with Georgina, who has been clean for 26 years. Her journey began in the rooms of Narcotics Anonymous, where she found the support and guidance she needed to overcome a childhood marred by violence, alcohol, and sexual abuse.
Georgina's father passed away when she was just nine, leaving her to take on adult responsibilities far too early. The situation worsened when her stepfather began grooming her at age 11, leading to years of sexual abuse. Seeking escape, she turned to substances, which only deepened her struggles with addiction and unhealthy relationships. However, the 12 steps program offered her a lifeline. Through it, she discovered the importance of support systems, unconditional love, and daily meetings.
Georgina reflects on how the program helped her cope with grief and trauma, ultimately leading her to become an incredible mother and a good friend with a heart of gold. Her story is not just about survival but about finding strength and hope in the darkest of times. Tune in to hear Georgina's inspiring journey and how the 12 steps program changed her life.
