Nicole's Harrowing Near-Death Experiences and Path to Recovery
I think part of me thought that I deserved it and part of me didn't want to make the person that was abusing me have to face the consequences. And when I woke up, you know, when you wake up like that, you realize that your partner, who you trust and who you love, has crossed a boundary.
Nicole's story is one of resilience and transformation. On this episode of Recovery Internet Radio, hosts Rick Atwater and Rob Ryberg sit down with Nicole, who recounts her near-death experiences and the impact they had on her life. Her first brush with death came at the tender age of two, a moment that left an indelible mark on her family.
Later in life, Nicole faced two more life-threatening situations—one from giving too much of herself to others and another from physical abuse. These harrowing experiences pushed her to seek help and led her to Co-Dependents Anonymous (CODA). Through CODA, Nicole learned the vital importance of self-love and how to recognize red flags in relationships. She discovered that while facing hard times is inevitable, it shouldn't come at the cost of losing oneself.
Nicole's journey is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, even in the darkest moments. Her story is both gut-wrenching and inspiring, offering hope and insight to anyone struggling with similar challenges. Tune in to hear Nicole's compelling narrative and find out how she learned to dance through life's toughest times.
