Learning how to say no is a big part of recovery, I think, because we do all end up in that codependency.
Ever wondered how someone can go from the deserts of Egypt to the bustling streets of LA, and finally to the serene mountains of Nashville? Nadia Bruce-Rawlings' story is one of those incredible journeys. In this episode of 'Recovery For Real', Nadia opens up about her battle with addiction and the winding path that led her to sobriety. Once a successful professional in the film industry, Nadia's life took a dark turn, leaving her homeless and addicted to crack.
But that's just the beginning of her tale. Nadia shares her raw and real experiences, including her early encounters with alcohol and drugs, becoming a single mother, and her struggles in the demanding world of film. Hitting rock bottom was a pivotal moment that led her to rehab, where she began the challenging process of rebuilding her life.
Her journey is not just about overcoming addiction but also about the power of forgiveness and the importance of setting boundaries to avoid codependency. In this episode, Nadia talks candidly about how helping others in their recovery has been a cornerstone of her own healing process. Her story is a testament to resilience and the human spirit's capacity for transformation. If you're looking for an inspiring tale that blends hardship with hope, this episode is a must-listen.
