I hope that anyone who's listening that feels hopeless can see some little piece of light at the end of the tunnel and grab it and latch on to it and know that you're not alone and, like you said, take it A Day at a time, because when we look in the past or we look in the future, we are lost in this existence that is not here.
Gwen's story is one of profound loss and remarkable resilience. In this episode of 'Sober Motivation', Gwen opens up about her battle with addiction, the heartache of losing her partner Duffy to an overdose, and her journey towards healing. Her candid recounting of relapses and the devastation of losing friends along the way paints a raw picture of the struggles many face in the throes of addiction.
But Gwen's tale isn't just about the darkness; it's about finding light through a supportive community and the power of recovery programs. She talks about how spirituality became a cornerstone in her sobriety, helping her take life one day at a time. Gwen's experience with grief led her to create a support group for those who've lost loved ones to substance-related deaths, highlighting the importance of community in healing.
She also sheds light on the dangers of fentanyl and stresses the need for education on this deadly substance. As the holiday season can be particularly challenging for those in recovery, Gwen shares how giving back and helping others has been instrumental in her own journey. Tune in to hear Gwen's inspiring story and find hope in her path from addiction to sobriety.
