From 'Bambi' to Bravery: A Woman's Journey Through Addiction and Recovery

They called me Bambi when I was using, because I always looked like a deer in the headlights... and I was like I'm dying. That was one thing where my disease never took me.
Ever wondered what it takes to turn your life around after hitting rock bottom? In this episode of 'Clean or Sober', Dave sits down with a long-time friend who shares her raw and powerful story of addiction, recovery, and resilience. She starts by discussing the unique challenges of sponsoring other women in recovery, shedding light on the emotional and mental hurdles that come with it.
With several years of sobriety under her belt, she opens up about the temptation to stop attending meetings and the tools she uses to stay committed to her journey. Growing up with two parents in the program wasn't easy, and it led her down a path of homelessness and addiction. The nickname 'Bambi' stuck when she looked like a deer in headlights while smoking crack, a stark reminder of her darkest days. But her story doesn't end there.
Through grit, determination, and the unwavering support of her community, she found her way back to a life of sobriety. This episode is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction. Tune in for a candid conversation that will leave you inspired and uplifted.
