One of the most valuable things in early recovery is that personal responsibility, yeah, and so, mostly sitting in that facility, it was just like you know, I made these decisions like I don't have to do that again.
Ever thought about the challenges medical professionals face when they fall into the trap of addiction? In this eye-opening episode of 'Not Your Average IV User', host Max Liles sits down with Courtney Bartley, a nurse who bravely shares her harrowing yet inspiring story. Courtney's career in the trauma unit took a dark turn when easy access to narcotics led her into the depths of addiction. The spiral didn't stop until she lost her job and found herself behind bars.
But that's just the beginning of her incredible transformation. While incarcerated, Courtney had a moment of clarity that set her on a new path. She decided to take personal responsibility for her actions, a choice that became the cornerstone of her recovery. Today, she's not only a Certified Nurse Practitioner but also a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor. Her work now includes developing Medically Monitored Withdrawal Management facilities and managing primary healthcare ventures focused on the recovery population.
Courtney's story highlights the often-overlooked issue of drug-seeking behavior among medical professionals. It's a stark reminder that addiction can affect anyone, regardless of their background or profession. Her journey underscores the importance of collaboration between medical and substance use professionals to provide comprehensive care for those in recovery. If you're looking for a tale of resilience, personal responsibility, and hope, this episode is a must-listen.
Courtney's experience shows that even in the face of severe adversity, it's possible to turn your life around and make meaningful contributions to the community. Tune in to hear her full story and gain insights into the complex relationship between addiction and the medical field.
