What we found out now is that actually, because of that habituation to the pain, you're making the pain worse over time by taking high levels of opiates.
In this compelling episode of 'Project Recovery', Melissa Catmull opens up about her battle with an eating disorder that began in her teenage years and eventually led to opioid addiction. Hosted by TV personality Casey Scott and licensed psychologist Dr. Matt Woolley, the conversation starts with addressing previous listener comments about marijuana addiction.
Then, Melissa dives into her personal story, detailing how her eating disorder initially shaped her self-image and how it resurfaced later in life after she became addicted to opioids due to running injuries. Melissa’s journey is a raw and honest look at the complexities of addiction. She talks about the challenges of adapting to life without an eating disorder and how her role as a parent and wife influenced her path to recovery.
When injuries from running introduced her to opioids, Melissa found herself spiraling back into old habits, struggling to quit both substances. Her candid reflections on these struggles provide a powerful reminder of the resilience required for recovery. Throughout the episode, Melissa shares how she has found active recovery and the self-help practices that help her maintain a healthy lifestyle, both physically and mentally.
The discussion highlights the importance of self-talk in overcoming addiction and offers valuable insights into the impact of addiction on family and relationships. This episode is a must-listen for anyone dealing with similar issues or supporting someone who is. Melissa's story serves as a beacon of hope, illustrating that recovery is possible even in the face of daunting challenges.
