The way I treated money, the way I treated my financial responsibilities that I had taken on as a renter in New York, I just did not pay my rent and then pay twice The Next Month. And she was like you can stop now, you know, I went to like boom, boom, boom, and like you know whatever you know, canceled renters, insurance, rent, like what kind of money went to, late fees on my credit cards.
Ever thought about how addiction drains your wallet as much as it does your health? In this eye-opening episode of 'Recovery Rocks', hosts Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara get real about the financial havoc addiction wreaked on their lives. From blowing through savings to missing rent payments, they share candid stories of their past money missteps. But it’s not all doom and gloom—they also talk about the power of forgiveness and moving forward.
The episode sheds light on the importance of budgeting in sobriety and how looking back at financial mistakes can be a tool for growth, not regret.
