Finding Balance: Denise Walker's Journey Through 'Derailed'

This book helped me shift the perspective and I started stringing together A Week of sobriety here and days there and, as I say in the poem, I had tasted what it was like to be on safe ground.
Imagine feeling like your life has been thrown off track, and you're struggling to find your footing. In this episode of the 'Detox Podcast', Denise Walker opens up about her poem 'Derailed' from her collection 'Pick Your Poison'. She paints a vivid picture of the turmoil and isolation that come with addiction, sharing her own experiences with alcohol and the heavy burden of guilt.
But it's not all about the struggle; Denise also highlights the importance of community support and a shift in perspective that helped her get back on track. Through her poetic lens, she offers a unique and heartfelt look at the road to recovery, making this episode a must-listen for anyone on their own journey to sobriety. Denise's candid storytelling and evocative poetry provide both comfort and inspiration, reminding listeners that they are not alone and that recovery is within reach.
