Finally, I couldn't get myself out, like literally can't get myself out, and I had to start listening and I've been told to go to aa for a while at that point and when I came out of psych unit, I didn't have a college to go back to anymore. I was not in a great place with my family, surprisingly, and I really didn't have friends because I faked a personality my entire life and I had nothing. I was nobody and aa didn't require me to be anybody.
Imagine moving to a new country at fourteen, struggling with language barriers, and feeling like an outsider. That was Yuchen C.'s reality when she immigrated from China to the United States. She turned to drugs and alcohol to cope, but it only led to more problems. By nineteen, Yuchen found herself in a psychiatric unit, a turning point where she realized she needed to get sober.
Fast forward to today, and Yuchen is a medical student at one of the world's top universities, juggling a demanding schedule while actively participating in the recovery community. In this episode of the Daily Reflection Podcast, Yuchen shares her journey through addiction, recovery, and finding sanity. She talks about the importance of structure and routine in maintaining sobriety, especially during chaotic times like the pandemic.
Her daily rituals include reading the Big Book and attending study meetings, which she finds essential for her recovery. Yuchen's story is a powerful reminder that with support and a structured program, anyone can overcome addiction and achieve their dreams. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and practical advice on the road to sobriety.
