I was just living one day at a time, you know, and it sounds like a cliche and it sounds like what she's saying.
Ever wondered what it’s like to face addiction head-on and come out stronger? Meet Neta M., a young woman who has been sober since May 1, 2021. In this heartfelt episode of 'Keep Coming Back', hosted by Mike S, Neta opens up about her journey through addiction, relapse, and recovery. After four months of sobriety, Neta found herself back in the grips of addiction.
She shares the raw truth about what led her there and how her attitude towards her recovery program shifted afterwards. Neta's story is both relatable and inspiring. She talks candidly about the feeling of fooling everyone around her while still using drugs and the moment she hit rock bottom. Her honesty about these struggles is a breath of fresh air for anyone who has faced similar challenges.
Neta emphasizes the importance of living one day at a time, a piece of advice that might sound clichéd but has been crucial in her journey to stay sober. One of the toughest parts of Neta's journey was attending AA meetings. She describes her initial fear of not fitting in and feeling different from everyone else. However, she soon realized that every person in the room had their own unique story and struggles.
This realization helped her push past her fears and find solace in the AA community. Neta also touches on the dangers of projecting a false image. She used to present herself as confident and sociable, but deep down, she was just trying to please others. Her journey taught her the importance of being true to oneself and not pretending to be someone you're not. Support from her sponsor and the AA community played a significant role in Neta's recovery.
She highlights the benefits of having someone to turn to during tough times and the importance of attending meetings regularly, even when things are going well. Dating in recovery presented its own set of challenges for Neta. She shares her experiences of dating someone from the program and the fear of jeopardizing each other’s sobriety. Through it all, Neta reminds us that prioritizing recovery over relationships is essential.
Neta's story is a powerful reminder that recovery is a journey filled with ups and downs. Her honesty, perseverance, and commitment to sobriety offer hope and inspiration to anyone struggling with addiction. Tune in to hear Neta's full story on the 'Keep Coming Back' podcast.
