The steps changed my life for sure. How long ago did you get out? From the day they took me and I never used again. That's where prison saved my life because I think my biggest thing I had going for me is I had 20 months under my belt of abstinence.
Imagine growing up in a family where addiction and crime are as normal as breakfast. That's the world Rachael B. was born into. Her adult life mirrored this chaos, spiraling into a whirlwind of drug use and criminal activity. But here's where it gets truly gripping: Rachael's story isn't just another tale of hitting rock bottom—it's about clawing her way back up.
Clean since 2017, she found herself utterly alone in prison at 41, with no money, no support, and no hope. It was in this solitude that she turned inward and outward, finding strength in the women of Narcotics Anonymous and the transformative power of the 7th step prayer. In this episode, Jeannine sits down with Rachael to uncover her incredible journey of resilience and grit.
They discuss how Rachael's life began to change behind bars and the pivotal role the 12-step program played in her recovery. You'll hear about the challenges she faced, the moments of clarity that guided her, and the unwavering commitment to service that continues to drive her. If you're looking for a story that showcases the raw power of human determination and the healing potential of community support, this episode is a must-listen.
It's a testament to the idea that no matter how far you've fallen, there's always a way back up.
