If I really want a life that's different, I want to be happy in recovery, and if I really want to be healthy, I have to look at all of my unhealthy behaviors, not just my drug addiction.
Imagine finding yourself in a drug court, facing the harsh realities of addiction. That's where Mandy Nunes' journey began. Now, as a Certified Behavioral Health Peer Support Specialist at Rimrock in Billings, Mandy shares her incredible transformation from a drug court client to a beacon of hope for others. In this episode of 'Recovery Talks', Mandy opens up about how her own experiences with addiction and recovery shape her work today.
She dives into the impact of unhealthy behaviors and the crucial role of self-discovery in overcoming addiction. Mandy also reflects on her childhood trauma and how feelings of worthlessness once clouded her path to recovery. Her candid discussion about relapse offers a fresh perspective, showing that setbacks can be stepping stones to personal growth. This episode is not just about Mandy's past; it's about how she uses her story to inspire and support others on their own recovery journeys.
Whether you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Mandy's insights offer a powerful reminder that recovery is possible.
