In closing, honesty, openness and willingness keeps me sober. Sometimes, One Day at a time, or even one minute at a time.
Relapse can feel like a crushing setback, but Latoya's story shows that it's also a part of the journey. In this episode of 'Recovery Talk', she opens up about her own relapse experience, offering a candid look into the complexities of addiction. Latoya thought she had it all together, but when life seemed to be going smoothly, she found herself slipping back into old habits.
She shares how she rationalized her drinking, convincing herself that she could handle it, only to spiral back into misery. Her story doesn't stop there; it's a testament to the power of honesty and self-awareness in the recovery process. Facing a tough divorce and dealing with severe migraines, Latoya found herself turning to pain medication as an escape. She noticed a troubling pattern—taking meds even when she wasn't in pain.
Her honesty about this behavior is both brave and enlightening, reminding us that addiction can sneak back in when we least expect it. Throughout the episode, Latoya emphasizes the importance of being honest, open, and willing to seek help. Whether it's calling a friend, attending a meeting, or simply taking things one day at a time, her message is clear: you don't have to face this alone. This episode is a raw, real, and relatable exploration of relapse and recovery.
It's a must-listen for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is.
