For me, it feels like I've been delivered from so much, and God saved me from so much and so many things- and not turn it around and use my voice and really try to chip away the stigma and really show people that there is no specific way, but there is a way, um, and show that we are living proof of that.
Ever wondered how one person's struggle with addiction can turn into a powerful message of hope? In this episode of 'The Stigma Ends Here', Mike Gliem sits down with Suzanne, a woman who has faced the harsh realities of alcoholism from a young age. Suzanne's story is one of transformation, from blaming the world for her problems to taking control of her life after a stark warning from her doctor.
Her journey wasn't easy, but with the support of her faith and loved ones, she found the inner peace she had long sought. Suzanne talks about the differences between in-person and Zoom meetings, sharing how the latter has connected her with people worldwide. She emphasizes the importance of giving back in recovery, which led her to create Cyber Sober Sundays, an online community celebrating sobriety and supporting each other.
Despite the tough road, Suzanne finds strength in her community and the unwavering support of her family and friends. With new goals on the horizon, she remains committed to ending the stigma surrounding addiction. Tune in to hear Suzanne's inspiring journey and her efforts to change perceptions about addiction.
