Imagine trying to balance a demanding career in science while battling the grip of addiction. That's exactly what Chee, the guest on this episode of 'The Truth About Addiction', faced. Born to an English mother and a Chinese Malaysian father, Chee always felt like she didn't quite fit in. Her teenage years were filled with physical and emotional abuse, pushing her towards alcohol and marijuana by the age of 14. But her story doesn't stop there.
Chee opens up about her struggles with various addictions, including sex, love, prescription drugs, and methamphetamine. Despite these hurdles, she managed to earn a Bachelor of Applied Science degree. However, her addiction often clashed with her professional life, leading to some dangerous moments in the lab. Chee's journey also includes multiple encounters with the criminal justice system and periods of incarceration. It was during one of these times that she attended her first Narcotics Anonymous meeting.
What started as a way to get a favorable court letter turned into a lifeline that helped her break free from addiction. This episode is a raw and honest look at the complexities of addiction and the resilience needed to overcome it. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or know someone who is, Chee's story offers a powerful message of hope and transformation.
