I believe that honesty saves my life.
Ever wondered how a turbulent childhood can shape your future? Nicole's story might give you some answers. Growing up with a heroin-addicted father and a mother who left when she was just three, Nicole's early years were anything but stable. For the first decade of her life, she watched her father struggle with his addiction, trying and failing to get clean.
By the age of 15, Nicole had turned to alcohol and cocaine, setting herself on a path of self-destruction that mirrored her father's struggles. Nicole hit rock bottom in her twenties, facing a long and painful battle with addiction. But it was in these dark moments that she found the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous and began her journey to recovery.
With 13 months of sobriety under her belt, Nicole is now a high school teacher, using her experiences to inspire and guide her students. She speaks openly about her past, hoping to pass on the message of hope and recovery to those who need it most. This episode of Steppin' Out Radio dives deep into Nicole's life, exploring the impact of her father's addiction, her own struggles with drugs and alcohol, and the transformative power of the twelve steps.
It's a raw and honest look at the challenges of addiction and the incredible resilience required to overcome them. If you're looking for a story that combines heartache with hope, this one's for you.
