I don't think it had really clicked in my head that, like I genuinely like all of my past mistakes, all the fucked up things that I've done doesn't mean that I don't get the opportunity to heal.
Melanie P kicks off Season 2 of 'So You Wanna Get Sober' with a deeply personal account of her own relapse and the road back to sobriety. After a year and a half of being sober, Mel found herself in a dark place, battling depression and taking the maximum dose of her medication, which led to a relapse. Yet, she managed to pull herself out of suicidal thoughts and seek the help she needed.
This episode isn't just about the fall; it's about the climb back up. Mel opens up about how her perspective on addiction has evolved, viewing it now as a chronic condition that needs constant care and attention. She emphasizes the importance of self-love and self-worth, even when facing setbacks. Her story underscores the power of community support and the strength found in returning to recovery after a slip.
Mel also touches on her spiritual awakening, discussing how mindfulness, setting intentions, and practicing gratitude have played crucial roles in her healing process. For anyone struggling with relapse or supporting someone who is, Mel's journey offers hope, practical insights, and a reminder that growth and healing are always within reach.
