Addiction, unlike some people, say it's not a choice, it's a disease. Just resist that urge to use and once you stop using, you can start recovering.
Ever thought you had everything under control, only to watch it all slip away? In this episode of 'One Day at a Time: In Recovery in Baltimore', Theo Hill sits down with Lee Ann, whose life took a dramatic turn when she went from a functional addict to losing everything. Lee Ann opens up about her years of alcohol and marijuana use, which escalated when a neighbor introduced her to crack cocaine.
Her life spiraled quickly—she lost her job, drained her 401k, and faced foreclosure on her home. It's a raw and humbling account of how addiction can dismantle even the most seemingly stable lives. But Lee Ann's story doesn't end in despair. She shares how hitting rock bottom became the catalyst for seeking help and beginning her recovery journey.
With the support of Narcotics Anonymous (NA) and a dedicated sponsor, she found the strength to resist the urge to use and start rebuilding her life. Lee Ann also discusses the importance of making amends and mending broken family relationships, offering hope and encouragement to anyone facing similar struggles. Tune in for an honest, heartfelt conversation that underscores the resilience required to overcome addiction.
