We're like this cursed people, because we have part of what makes us sick, also makes us great.
Judy Wilson's life story reads like a Hollywood script, but it's all too real. Born in West Virginia, Judy's world turned upside down when her family moved to San Francisco during the wild Haight Ashbury era. She plunged headfirst into the chaotic world of drugs and free love, only to be yanked back to West Virginia by her worried parents. But the damage was done.
Within six months, Judy had six car accidents, several run-ins with the police, and even drove off a cliff. Her substance abuse only escalated from there. College brought more turbulence, including a relationship with a man who ended up in prison. A tragic house fire took his life right before her eyes, and what followed was a series of harrowing experiences—rape, abortion, and a suicide attempt.
Moving to New York for a fresh start, Judy found herself working on Wall Street and partying at Studio 54. She got entangled with the Mafia and married a man whose abuse left her with brain damage. This episode of 'The Courage to Change: A Recovery Podcast' is a rollercoaster ride through Judy's life. Host Ashley Loeb Blassingame delves into how geographical shifts impacted Judy's addiction and highlights the coping mechanisms that eventually led her to recovery.
Judy's story underscores the importance of friendship and support in the recovery journey, showcasing how faith played a pivotal role in her transformation. If you're looking for a tale of resilience and hope, this episode offers that and more. Judy's unwavering courage through unimaginable hardships makes her journey not just inspiring but deeply moving. Tune in to hear how she turned her life around, finding faith and healing amidst the chaos.
