Real recovery starts with telling your story, no matter how embarrassing or difficult it may seem. It takes courage, but it's worth it. You never know who you might inspire to start their own journey towards sobriety.
What happens when a simple prescription spirals into a life-altering addiction? Katy knows all too well. In this episode of 'Lakin Chronicles: Road to Recovery', Dr. Greg Lakin sits down with Katy, who opens up about her battle with addiction that began innocently enough with hydrocodone prescribed by her superintendent's daughter-in-law. Katy's candid recounting of her struggle with cravings, anxiety, and the uphill climb to sobriety offers a raw and real look into the world of addiction recovery.
She discusses the vital role long-acting medications like methadone and suboxone played in her journey, helping her manage cravings and withdrawals. But medication wasn't her only lifeline; counseling provided the emotional support she needed to keep moving forward. Through it all, Katy emphasizes the power of sharing her story, no matter how tough it might be to tell. She believes that by speaking out, she can inspire others to take that first step towards their own recovery.
If you're looking for a story of resilience and hope, Katy's journey is one you won't want to miss.
