The idea of doing that sober made me feel like I was going to cry, made me feel like I had to escape. One of the main things that would prompt me to relapse in Later Years was that I didn't want to be this defective person that didn't know how to have sex right, and I needed alcohol to do that, because I felt like I was broken inside. Now it means I'm forgiving because whoever took advantage of me, they must have had their own brokenness to contend with, and I don't have to hold it anymore.
Ever felt like disappearing after a heartbreak? Tara Boyce knows that feeling all too well. In this gripping episode of 'Addicted to Recovery: The Interactive Memoir', Tara opens up about her tumultuous journey through addiction and recovery, triggered by a painful breakup. She shares the raw truth of how she tried to 'get over' her ex by diving into a series of risky encounters, hoping to numb her pain with alcohol and fleeting connections.
But as she reveals, this desperate attempt to reclaim her power led her down a darker path, culminating in experiences that would haunt her deeply. Tara's candid storytelling doesn't shy away from the harsh realities she faced, including the trauma of sexual assault. Her narrative is not just a recount of past events but an exploration of the complex emotions and mental health struggles that accompany such experiences.
She bravely discusses the feelings of worthlessness that drove her to seek solace in alcohol, and how these choices put her in harm's way. Despite the heavy topics, Tara's story is also one of resilience and hope. She talks about finding the strength to forgive those who wronged her and how this act of forgiveness became a crucial part of her healing process. Her journey offers valuable insights into the intricate relationship between trauma, addiction, and recovery.
