Hollie's Path: From Addiction and Sex Work to Aspiring DV Counsellor

I've seen you get a relationship with yourself, and it's just so nice. You know I had my sponsor up here Last Weekend and I haven't hung out with him for Two Years.
Hollie's story is one of resilience and transformation. Growing up in a rough environment, she often felt isolated despite having loving parents. This sense of loneliness pushed her towards the wrong crowd, leading her down a path of drug use and toxic relationships. Desperate to numb her pain, Hollie found herself entangled in sex work and a cycle of self-destruction. But her journey didn't end there.
In this gripping episode of 'The Truth About Addiction', Hollie opens up about hitting rock bottom and the hard-fought battle to reclaim her life. Now 16 months clean, she is on a mission to become a domestic violence counsellor, turning her darkest moments into a beacon of hope for others. Through candid conversation with host Ron Isherwood, Hollie shares the pivotal moments that spurred her recovery and the dreams that keep her moving forward.
This episode is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for change and the importance of never giving up hope. Whether you're struggling with addiction or know someone who is, Hollie's journey offers valuable insights and inspiration.
