You've got to let those people, places and things go. You've got to because you know, I, I, I hate cliches, but a lot of the cliches in recovery are there because they work, and that one where they say nothing changes if nothing changes, is exactly right.
Shannon Louise, the heart and soul behind 'Recovery Captured', takes a seat on the other side of the mic in this riveting episode. Lesley, host of 'The Recovery Scene', flips the script by interviewing Shannon about her own rollercoaster journey through addiction, sobriety, and eventually becoming a certified recovery coach. Shannon's story is one of highs and lows, starting with her passion for figure skating, which was eventually overshadowed by a spiral into drug addiction.
The turning point came when she faced the terrifying possibility of losing her nephew, prompting her to attend her first AA meeting. From that moment, Shannon embarked on a challenging yet transformative path to sobriety. She speaks candidly about the importance of making tough changes, like letting go of toxic people and environments, and focusing on self-care. This episode also delves into how Shannon found her calling in recovery coaching, using her experiences to help others navigate their own journeys.
Lesley and Shannon discuss the profound impact of coaching and community support in recovery, offering listeners a blend of hope, practical advice, and inspiration. Whether you're grappling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode is a must-listen for its raw honesty and uplifting message.
