How does someone truly start over after years of battling addiction? In this heartfelt episode of 'The Way Out', Hope Collaton opens up about her raw and real journey through the early stages of recovery from alcohol and drug addiction. With 104 days clean and 69 days sober, Hope shares the ups and downs of her path, making it clear that every single day counts, even if they’re not all strung together perfectly.
Hope’s story sheds light on the importance of self-focus and the dangers of trying to moderate substance use. She talks about how support groups like SMART Recovery have been her anchor in the often rocky and non-linear road to sobriety. She also emphasizes the role of unconditional self-acceptance, exercise, and healthy eating in her recovery.
Hope's candid discussion includes the impact of addiction on personal relationships, the unique challenges posed by the pandemic, and the invaluable tools she’s found in resources like the SMART Recovery workbook. Her journey is a testament to resilience and offers hope to anyone struggling with addiction. As Hope says, 'My goal is to be able to give back the way that I was helped'.
