The thing I always try and explain to people that when it comes to addiction, the addiction is there long before any substance comes into play.
Erin Khar's story is a raw, heartfelt account of battling addiction and finding a way to heal. In this episode of 'The One Day At A Time Recovery Podcast', host Arlina Allen sits down with Khar, an author and recovery advocate, to discuss her tumultuous journey. Erin’s struggles began early, influenced by family trauma and deep-seated issues with self-esteem. What started with sneaking pills in her teenage years eventually spiraled into a full-blown heroin addiction in her 20s.
But Erin's story doesn't end there. She opens up about the shame and guilt that accompanied her addiction, and how she managed to turn her life around despite these challenges. Her path to sobriety was anything but smooth, yet it's filled with valuable lessons on the importance of self-care, professional help, and a supportive network. Erin emphasizes that it's never too late to seek help and that recovery is always within reach.
Her daily rituals and gratitude practices played a significant role in her healing process, serving as small yet powerful steps toward a healthier life. Erin's journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and offers hope to anyone struggling with addiction. Tune in to hear her inspiring story and gain insights into how self-care and community support can pave the way to recovery.
