If you're worrying about me, you can't focus on the trauma I've caused you and the trauma you've had.
Picture a childhood spent bouncing through the foster system, only to be introduced to meth by your own family. That's the stark reality Mysti Lopez faced. In this episode of 'Project Recovery', Mysti opens up to Casey Scott and Dr. Matt Woolley about her tumultuous journey through addiction and recovery. At just 19, she was a mother grappling with meth addiction and facing arrest for possession.
Reuniting with her mother only dragged her deeper into the abyss of addiction, leading her to deal heroin on the streets. Mysti's story takes a turn when she meets a former guest, Manny Lopez, and finds a recovery program that helps her tackle years of trauma. Through candid conversation, Mysti shares how toxic relationships fueled her addiction and how discovering self-worth and mindfulness became key to her recovery.
If you're seeking a raw and inspiring tale of resilience, this episode offers a heartfelt look at the power of positive support systems and personal transformation.
