The more that I went to meetings and just kind of kept going, the more it just starts to work right, like it just starts to work without your permission.
Ever wondered how someone can bounce back from the darkest depths of addiction? In this episode of 'Clean or Sober', Dave sits down with a remarkable woman who takes us through her tumultuous journey from a seemingly normal childhood to battling severe addiction.
Her life took a sharp turn when her parents divorced, leading her down a path of substance abuse that eventually landed her in jail with her first felony, thanks to her mother pressing charges—a move that, though harsh, became a pivotal turning point. Her story doesn't end there. Despite multiple stints in jail, her addiction persisted until she found a lifeline in service work and regular meetings.
She opens up about the crushing guilt and shame she faced, the poor choices in relationships, and the relentless fear that comes with trying to stay sober. Yet, through all the chaos, she discovered hope and strength in a 12-step program and the unwavering support of her community. Listeners will be captivated by her candid discussion on the importance of support systems, the painful lessons learned from relapse, and the profound impact addiction has on loved ones.
Her journey is a testament to the power of resilience and the transformative potential of recovery programs. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, her story offers a powerful message: recovery is possible, one day at a time.
