Imagine feeling rejected for who you are, battling self-doubt, and drowning in daily drinking. Lona's story is a powerful testament to resilience and transformation. Growing up, she faced the haunting memories of scary church plays and the pain of being rejected for her sexuality. The struggle didn't end there; abusive relationships and constant self-loathing added to her burden. But today, Lona stands 16 months sober, having found a way to break free from the chains of her past.
How did she do it? By getting involved with a supportive fellowship, working the recovery steps, helping others, and silencing her negative self-talk. In this episode of 'Voices in Recovery', Lona opens up about the unique challenges LGBTQ+ individuals face in recovery and the impact of abusive relationships on addiction. Her journey from self-loathing to self-love is not just inspiring but also offers practical insights for anyone on the path to sobriety.
Tune in to hear Lona's candid reflections and find out how vulnerability can be a powerful tool in the recovery process.
