I really I smoked crack one time, and that was enough for me, which was weird, because after I did it like, I wanted more and I was on the floor looking swearing.
Ever wondered how honesty can be a game-changer in recovery? In this episode of 'Recovery Uncensored', Ty Bechel welcomes Liz Applegate, an Outreach Worker for Oxford Inc. and a Kentucky native, who opens up about her tumultuous journey through addiction and the power of truth in her healing process. Liz's story is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. She grew up in poverty and faced a devastating loss when her young sister was murdered at just three years old.
Seeking solace, she fell into the trap of substance abuse, with drinking and drugs becoming her norm. This path led her to toxic relationships and frequent jail visits. Despite these hardships, Liz's honesty about her struggles became her greatest asset. She speaks candidly about using crack cocaine while pregnant and the transformative impact of relocating for treatment. Now, as a mother of three, she uses her experiences to help others through outreach programs in Illinois.
Liz’s story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the crucial role of honesty in recovery. Tune in to hear her powerful narrative and find out how she’s making a difference today.
