I think for me, there was not one darkest moment, but sort of a dark aspect that comes up again and again, and that is simply that without the veil or the cushion of the things I use to escape, I'm much more present to all of life, including the painful parts.
What happens when a scientist, counselor, and mother finds herself grappling with drug addiction?

She shares candid reflections on how addiction once clouded her life and how sobriety has brought clarity and presence, even in life's most painful moments.
Beyond her professional and personal battles, Lori discovered new passions in recovery, like exploring tarot, which has brought unexpected joy and meaning to her life. This episode isn't just about the struggle; it's about finding light in unexpected places and the importance of seeking out new experiences to enrich life in recovery.
