There's a way to get up and out of the hopeless state of being, so that we can have some hope when life does happen.
Imagine being crowned Miss USA, only to find yourself in rehab months later. That's Tara Conner's story. In this episode of Sober Nation FM, Jonathan Sylvester sits down with Tara, who opens up about her whirlwind journey from small-town girl to national beauty queen, and the spiral into addiction that followed. Tara doesn't hold back as she recounts testing positive for cocaine at just 20 years old and the subsequent public scrutiny. But her story doesn't end there.
Now celebrating over a decade of sobriety, Tara is on a mission to change the narrative around addiction. She passionately argues that addiction is a disease, not a moral failing, and emphasizes the importance of speaking out to break the stigma. Tara's Ted Talk, talk show, and Recover Out Loud Town Hall meetings have become platforms for others to share their stories and find hope.
This episode is a raw and honest look at the power of community, the importance of finding purpose in sobriety, and practical tips for staying sober, especially during challenging times like the pandemic. Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, Tara's journey offers invaluable insights and inspiration.
