And now I get to, for the first time in my life, rebuild my life in a way that's authentic and is right for me, not around the life that I had in my head, that I thought I needed in order to be happy and in order to be accepted by other people.
What happens when you feel like you've hit rock bottom? In this heartfelt episode of Recovery Elevator, Tamara opens up to host Paul Churchill about her intense struggle with relapse and suicidal thoughts. With 88 days of sobriety under her belt, Tamara recounts a particularly dark day that started with running errands and ended with a near-fatal decision.
Feeling isolated in her new apartment, she turned to vodka to numb her loneliness, leading her down a path of guilt and despair. She recorded a goodbye message for her family and attempted to take her own life. Thankfully, her parents and roommate intervened just in time, getting her the help she desperately needed. This episode doesn't just dwell on the darkness; it shines a light on Tamara's journey towards recovery.
She talks about the crucial role of community support and the importance of self-love and self-care in her healing process. Her story is a powerful reminder that even in our darkest moments, there's always a way back to the light. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Tamara's experience offers hope and inspiration. Tune in to hear how she turned her life around and found a renewed sense of purpose and authenticity.
