Addiction is raw, it is ugly, it's hard, it takes everything out of everyone around us, and I really appreciate when people are able and willing to get vulnerable and share that part of their past.
Meet Sam Ricci, a woman whose life story is a testament to the power of resilience and the human spirit. In this episode of 'Rooted Recovery Stories', Sam opens up about her tumultuous journey from addiction to recovery, sharing the raw and real moments that shaped her path. Growing up in a chaotic household with often absent parents, Sam and her siblings were left to navigate life on their own.
Her early encounters with substance use began in her teenage years, starting with weed and cigarettes, which quickly escalated to harder drugs like cocaine and heroin. Despite numerous attempts to get clean, Sam found herself relapsing repeatedly, hitting rock bottom more times than she could count. It wasn't until she reached a breaking point that she realized something had to change.
Through the support of rehab, therapy, and a strong network of loved ones, Sam began the arduous journey of recovery. She learned to cope with her past traumas, rebuild fractured relationships, and ultimately, find hope for a brighter future. Sam's story is a powerful reminder that no matter how dark things may seem, recovery is always within reach. Her journey underscores the importance of courage, vulnerability, and the relentless pursuit of healing.
Tune in to hear Sam's inspiring story and discover that hope and help are always available.
