I can't believe this is the life I get to live, because I know Four Years Ago, in the dark place I was and I was like I was like you, I was like i. I don't know if I can live like this. Uh, I love your advocacy and I think that you have found.
Ever wondered how someone can overcome both addiction and cancer, and then turn that struggle into a mission to help others? Meet Sammi Anderson. In this episode of 'Project Recovery', Sammi sits down with Casey Scott and Dr. Matt Woolley to share her incredible journey. Growing up with an alcoholic father and battling depression at just thirteen, Sammi found herself turning to drugs as a lifeline during her teenage years.
But her twenties were marked by a downward spiral into addiction and run-ins with the law. It wasn't until she hit rock bottom that she sought the treatment she desperately needed to get sober. As if that wasn't enough, Sammi was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer while in recovery. Instead of derailing her progress, this diagnosis reinforced her commitment to sobriety. Today, she’s a beacon of hope, helping others find the support they need to heal.
Sammi offers practical advice on finding a therapist and navigating the often confusing world of insurance coverage. Her story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of a strong support system. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that proves no matter how tough your journey is, it can lead to something truly great.
