I think the hardest thing that I had to learn was to say no and to love myself enough to say no, even if it meant hurting someone else's feelings. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's actually a very loving thing to do for yourself and for others.
Ever wondered how someone can go from a peaceful childhood on a farm to battling addiction and finding their way back to a fulfilling life? In this episode of 'Ransom Experience', Gina shares her incredible story. Growing up in Fairhope, Alabama, Gina enjoyed an idyllic childhood. However, life took a sharp turn when she faced a divorce and a toxic relationship, leading her down a path of addiction and poor choices.
Gina opens up about how her need for validation and the emotional turmoil of her circumstances led her to substance abuse. She recounts the painful spiral that followed—stealing to support her habit and losing custody of her son. It was only when she hit rock bottom that she realized she needed help. Gina found solace and support in the Ransom Reprogram, a faith-based program designed to help individuals overcome addiction.
Through this program, she learned the importance of self-love and setting boundaries. Gina highlights how saying 'no' can be an act of love for oneself and others, even if it means hurting someone's feelings. Her journey is a testament to the transformative power of community and support. By serving others and building meaningful relationships, Gina discovered a new sense of purpose and joy.
She emphasizes that addiction is a very self-centered state, but giving back can shift one's focus to the broader picture of life. This episode is not just about Gina's struggles; it's about her triumphs and the lessons she learned along the way. It offers hope and inspiration for anyone facing similar challenges.
Gina's message is clear: 'If I can do it, anyone can do it.' Tune in to hear her full story and find out how the Ransom Reprogram can make a difference in your life.
