So this idea of this addiction is bigger than you are, cannot be mastered, that you can't outsmart it.
Imagine hitting rock bottom and finding the strength to rise again. That's Julia M.'s story in this episode of 'Keep Coming Back: Real Stories of Sobriety & Recovery'. At 54, Julia opens up about her tumultuous journey through addiction. From alcohol and pills to crack cocaine, she paints a raw picture of her struggles as a daughter, wife, and mother caught in the web of substance abuse. Julia's narrative is both heart-wrenching and inspiring.
She takes us through the gradual decline that led to her lowest point, echoing Hemingway's words about bankruptcy: 'first gradually, then suddenly'. It's a stark reminder of how addiction can slowly creep into one's life before it completely takes over. But Julia's story isn't just about the darkness. It's also about the light at the end of the tunnel.
She shares how the support of family, friends, and fellowship helped her recognize the grip addiction had on her life and start the path to recovery. Her tale is a testament to the power of community and the importance of sharing our stories. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. Julia's candidness offers hope and insight into the transformative journey of sobriety.
Tune in to hear her powerful story and be reminded that no matter how deep the pit, there's always a way out.
