But a lot of times people just don't have the clarity to see what it is that the suffering is pointing to. And it's really challenging because I feel like a lot of people don't get the opportunity to see what it's really pointing to because of overdose, because of the massive amounts of drugs that we've taken, we just can't see clearly.
What happens when life takes you to rock bottom, and you find the strength to climb back up? In this episode of 'Knockin' Doorz Down', host Jason LaChance chats with Michelle Curiel, the mind behind @thesobrietyplaybook. Michelle’s story is one of harrowing lows and inspiring highs. After 25 years of battling alcoholism and drug addiction, she hit a devastating point when she overdosed on fentanyl, thinking it was heroin. But that near-death experience became a turning point.
Michelle shares how she turned her life around with the help of the 12-step program and her faith, staying sober since August 8, 2019. Michelle’s journey isn't just about getting sober; it's about discovering who she is beyond addiction. She talks about the importance of discernment in recovery—knowing who to let into your life and who to keep at arm's length. She also delves into setting boundaries versus being accessible, a tricky balance for anyone in recovery. And self-reflection?
It’s her cornerstone. Michelle uses various tools like the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, daily reflections, and even Buddhist teachings to stay grounded. This episode is a treasure trove for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of addiction recovery and personal growth. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Michelle’s insights offer hope and practical advice. Plus, her story is a testament to the power of resilience and the human spirit’s capacity for change.
Tune in for a conversation that’s as enlightening as it is uplifting.
