Imagine starting to drink at the tender age of seven and grappling with addiction by eleven. That’s Lisa Horwell’s story, a tale of early struggles and incredible transformation. In this episode of 'Tough Love', Lisa opens up about her tumultuous upbringing in East London during the 70s and the long road to recovery that followed.
By thirty-four, she found herself on a path to sobriety, and fifteen years later, she's a yoga therapist dedicated to helping others find their way out of the darkness of addiction. Lisa's candid recounting of her journey offers a raw look at arrested development and the power of giving back. Through her work, she finds the strength to stay clean and sober, proving that helping others can be a powerful tool in one’s own recovery.
This episode is a testament to human resilience and the transformative power of compassion and support. If you're curious about how someone can rise from such depths to become a beacon of hope for others, this episode is a must-listen. Lisa also shares some of her favorite reads that helped her along the way, including James Frey’s 'A Million Little Pieces' and Johann Hari’s 'Chasing the Scream'.
Whether you're on your own journey to recovery or supporting someone who is, Lisa's story is bound to inspire and encourage.
