I will be happy when I'll be happy when my husband gets home, and then once he gets home, I'll be happy once he assimilates back to normalcy...if I'm always looking at the light at the end of the tunnel, that means I'm constantly living in that tunnel's darkness like forever on a trek to that light.
Life as a military spouse can be incredibly demanding, and for Jessica Barone, it was a significant factor in her battle with addiction. Married for nearly 14 years and a mother of four, Jessica faced the pressures of frequent moves, deployments, and the expectation to remain strong. These challenges led her down a path of alcohol and cocaine use. In this episode of The Recovery Revolution, Jessica shares her powerful story of resilience and recovery.
She opens up about the heartache and inability to cope that fueled her addiction, and how a spiritual awakening pushed her to seek help. Through rehab and early sobriety, Jessica had to rebuild her life from the ground up, including mending relationships with her family and finding new ways to care for herself. Her journey wasn't easy, but she found love and personal growth along the way.
Jessica's story is a beacon of hope for military spouses and anyone struggling with addiction. She emphasizes the importance of self-care, accepting things as they are, and the power of community. Tune in to hear Jessica's inspiring journey and gain insights into overcoming similar struggles.
