Scarlett B's Journey: Finding Herself Beyond Addiction

My food solution is to have terrible tasting snacks. Yeah, like, last night I made chocolate covered strawberries and I started with six and then I, it's like hard to make, they're not hard to make, but they, it takes effort, right.
Scarlett B takes us on a deeply personal journey in this episode of 'Keep Coming Back'. At 37 years old and sober since August 20, 2017, Scarlett opens up about her path to self-discovery and acceptance. Rather than focusing on the dramatic events that led her to addiction, she dives into the emotions that fueled her need to drink, highlighting how denial played a significant role in her struggles.
Scarlett reveals how being a 'pill person' allowed her to mask her addiction more effectively, making it harder for others to notice her dependency. Her story also sheds light on the societal norms surrounding alcohol, which often blur the lines between social drinking and addiction. Scarlett talks about the challenges of recognizing and addressing addiction in a world where alcohol is so widely accepted. One of the most powerful aspects of her story is the importance of community.
After reaching her lowest point, Scarlett found the strength to seek help and walked into a meeting at Mustard Seed. There, she discovered a room full of people who understood her struggles and offered the support she desperately needed. Scarlett's narrative is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding a supportive network and embracing the journey towards a healthier, happier life.
Her story is a testament to the power of community and the courage it takes to ask for help. Tune in to hear Scarlett's inspiring tale of resilience and transformation.
