From Lockdowns to Sobriety: Taylor Baroni's Journey Through Addiction
I think being able to take somebody who is newly sober and start walking them through the steps has really been an amazing thing for me.
Picture this: you're a hair stylist in California, and the COVID lockdowns have left you without work for months. This is the story of Taylor Baroni, who joins Jeannine Coulter Lindgren and Narcan Nate on 'Chasing Heroine: Addiction Recovery Podcast'. During the lockdowns, Taylor's drug use spiraled out of control, leading her down a dark path where she found herself dealing cocaine, accidentally selling laced drugs, and even overdosing on her own product. But that's not where her story ends.
Sober since March 8, 2021, Taylor opens up about her journey to recovery, which she credits to the transformative power of Alcoholics Anonymous and the guidance of a dedicated sponsor. Through working the 4th step, Taylor found clarity and a new sense of purpose. Jeannine and Nate also chime in with their own tales of addiction and recovery, highlighting the importance of community and connection, especially during challenging times like the COVID lockdowns.
This episode is a candid look at the struggles and triumphs of addiction recovery, offering hope and support to anyone facing similar battles.
