Lyra N.: Overcoming Addiction and Finding Strength in Community

Unlike a drug dealer where I'd have to make some calls and wait, the barrier to entry for me to get that drink is so small that all I would have to do is ask.
What happens when a global pandemic intersects with the already challenging journey of sobriety? In this episode of 'Keep Coming Back: Real Stories of Sobriety & Recovery', Lyra N. opens up about her path to sobriety and the hurdles she faced, particularly during quarantine. At just 30 years old, Lyra's story is one of resilience and determination. She started drinking and using drugs at a young age, which led to a series of personal and relational struggles.
It wasn't until she found a supportive circle of friends and began attending AA meetings that she saw a glimmer of hope for a different life. But the road to recovery was far from smooth. When quarantine hit, Lyra found herself grappling with feelings of isolation and a renewed temptation to drink and use drugs. Despite these setbacks, she remained steadfast in her commitment to sobriety.
Zoom meetings became her lifeline, helping her stay connected with her recovery community and celebrate milestones like her four-year sobriety anniversary. Through her candid storytelling, Lyra highlights the critical role of community support and self-acceptance in overcoming addiction. Her journey underscores that even in the most isolating times, there are ways to stay connected and find strength. This episode is a testament to the power of perseverance and the importance of leaning on others when the going gets tough.
If you're looking for a story that blends raw honesty with inspiring resilience, this one's for you.
